Welcome to the Daily Blade.

The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the

Christian's armor against the forces of evil.

Your hosts are Jobi Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight.

Let's sharpen up.

Welcome out to day four of the Daily Blade. What we're going to look at

here in Genesis chapter three is really when the first religion is born. You see, the reality is

at the core of us all because of our sin nature, is that we all reject God. Some of us tend to

reject God through rebellion. This was the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve say, forget you God. Some of us tend to reject God through rebellion. This was the forbidden fruit.

Adam and Eve say, forget you, God. I don't care what your law says. I'm going to do what I want

with who I want, when I want. That's rebellion. But some people reject God through religion.

So, God, we don't need you to do something about our sin and shame by the works of our own hands.

We'll handle it ourselves.

Genesis chapter 3, verse 7 says this.

Then the eyes of both were open.

This is after they took of the fruit like we talked about yesterday.

Then the eyes of both were open and they knew that they were naked.

Now what I want you to see here is this terrible trade that they've made.

They traded obedience for disobedience.

They traded transparency with God for shame.

They traded being known for hiding.

You see sin is a terrible trade.
