GOD’S QUESTIONS, GOD’S ANSWER

GENESIS 3:1-9

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

Just a reminder that God does not ask questions out of ignorance. God already knows the answer. God wants us to think, to learn, to realize, to accept, to grow.

 

I. WHERE ART THOU? [v. 9]

1. Mankind has been Separated from God [v. 7-9]

2. Mankind has been Separated from God because of Sin [v.  Is. 59:2]

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

3. Mankind has a Sin Problem that he (Mankind) Cannot Solve [v. 7-10, Rev. 6:12-17,  Ps. 139:7-12]

 

II. WHO TOLD THEE? [v. 10-13] Who are You Listening to?

1. Are You Listening to The Voice of Deceived People? [v. 12, Proverbs 14:12]

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

2. Are You Listening to The Voice of Demonic Personages? [v. 13, 1 Timothy 4:1]

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

3. Are You Listening to The Voice of God? [Heb. 11:6, Acts 22:12-15]

And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

 

III. WHAT IS THIS THAT THOU HAST DONE? [v. 13]

1. Sin has Consequences [v. 16-20, 22-24, Rm. 5:12-14]

2. Sin Must be Acknowledged [v. 9-13]

3. Christ and His Work Must be Accepted [v. 14-15, 21; Rm. 5:15-21]
