Study Notes
7.1 Notes
- Shalom means peace, harmony, wholeness, prosperity, welfare, and tranquility
- The world is not in a state of shalom, it's corrupted by evil, broken by sin, and plagued by suffering.
- Nearly every worldview recognizes a problem in the world, but there's disagreement on the source of this problem.
- The Bible teaches sin is the source of evil and suffering in the world.
- Sin, evil, and suffering are intruders in God's creation, not intended aspects of his design.
7.2 Notes
- The three words used in the Bible to describe sin are sin, transgression, and iniquity.
- Sin: Missing the intended goal (love of God and others).
- Sin is failing to love God and others, resulting from a lack of right relationship with God.
7.3 Notes
- The Fall: Adam and Eve chose to disobey God; thus sin entered the world.
- Genesis does not fully explain the serpent; other scripture identifies the serpent as Satan.
- The serpent is intelligent, speaks, questions, and is antagonistic toward God.
- The serpent challenged God's command by persuading Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.
7.4 Notes
- The first consequence of Adam and Eve's sin was death.
- Death is unnatural because it's an intruder in God's world.
7.5 Notes
- The Fall's consequences affect relationships with ourselves:
- Seeing ourselves wrongly
- Justifying sinful actions
- Deceptive self-assessment
- When we reject God's design, we experience guilt, fear, shame, and anxiety.
- Our attempts to find fulfillment through possessing or achieving never yield true satisfaction.
- Woman's pain in childbirth and the husband's rule over her are consequences of the Fall.

- People often blame societal, cultural, or religious factors for the world's problems.
- The Bible teaches that God did not create evil and sin is the result of human rebellion against Him.

- Redemption started with God's call to Adam and Eve.

- This promise foreshadows God's plan to restore humanity through Jesus.
7.8 Notes
- Abel's offering via sacrifice was accepted while Cain's was rejected.
- Cain, lacking faith, showed an arrogant and rebellious attitude.
- God warned Cain about the potential dangers of sin.
- God punished Cain by banishing him, but offered grace.
7.9 Notes
- The flood destroyed almost every living thing on Earth.
- God establishes a covenant with Noah and his descendants.
- A covenant is an agreement between two parties involving rights and responsibilities.
