    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 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.

    • God didn't abandon humanity after the fall, but stayed involved and worked to redeem humankind.
    • Redemption started with God's call to Adam and Eve.
    • God offered grace and the opportunity for repentance.
    • The protoevangelium (first announcement of the gospel) is found in Genesis 3:15.
    • This promise foreshadows God's plan to restore humanity through Jesus.
