Summary

Earlier in the twentieth century, the intellectuals of the Western world said it was our society and our institutions that were making us bad. If we changed them, then we’d get rid of atrocities, evil, war, racism, and poverty. But it hasn’t worked. More and more, the Western world is looking back at Genesis, and I believe if you’re smart, you will too. In Genesis, we can see how sin and evil came into the world, and we can see the results. What we have here is a diagnosis and then what God shows us we can do about it. Let’s look at Genesis 3 to see 1) the disease of sin and evil, and 2) the healing of the disease. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 12, 2000. Series: Genesis – The Gospel According to God. Scripture: Genesis 3:7-20. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:48.2	Then the eyes of both of them were opened,
0:50.5	and they realized they were naked.
0:52.0	So they sewed fig leaves together
0:54.0	and made coverings for themselves.
0:56.0	Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God
1:00.0	as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day and they hid from the
1:04.6	Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, where are you?
1:11.9	He answered, I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.
1:17.2	And he said, who told you you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded
1:20.5	you not to eat from?
1:22.5	And the man said, the woman you put here with me,
1:24.5	she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.
1:27.6	Then the Lord God said to the woman, what is this you have done?
1:30.6	The woman said, the serpent deceived me and I ate. So the Lord God said to the serpent, because
1:36.6	you have done this, cursed are you. Above all the livestock and all the wild animals, you will

1:45.2	And I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your offspring and hers.
