The Bible is the story of how man fell into sin, and it talks about the nature of sin, it’s rebellion against God and His will. It talks about the source from which sin came and what the consequences of sin are.

It is also a story of God's great salvation in Christ! It tells us how by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. (Romans 5)

When we think about a diamond, how it is flawlessly displayed against a black velvet background, so is God's great salvation, right… It shines forth against the dark background of man's sin and rebellion.

Who Gets the Blame for Original Sin—Adam or Eve?

As I was studying for this topic I remembered my husband saying to me just a few weeks ago, that we wouldn’t be like this if it weren’t for Eve. I don’t remember what we were talking about that made him say that; but You have likely heard the saying as well right…, “We wouldn’t be in this mess [meaning the sinfulness or the fallen nature of this world] if it weren’t for a woman.”

When we read In the book of Genesis we see that Eve ate the fruit first. And so This has led many people throughout history and even in our modern times to believe that she was the person responsible for original sin.

But I want to ask you all this morning, is that an accurate statement? Is Eve to blame for original sin?

Let’s talk about it!
