Consequences of the disobedience of Adam and Eve:

In this article, we will continue on the effects or consequences that resulted from the disobedience of Adam and Eve. In case you missed the first 3 consequences, please click here to read on them.

Below are the consequences of Adam and Eve’s disobedience starting from the 4th:

 

  • Suffering, pain and death was introduced into man’s world

While in the garden, man was made to live forever. Death had no place in God’s garden of Eden. Unfortunately, man disobeyed God and were eventually driven out of the garden to another place where they became exposed to suffering, pain and death.

please read on reasons why we undergo suffering and pains here.

  • You will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce anything, until you go back to the soil from which you were formed. You were made from the soil and you will become soil again.

    Genesis 3:19

You can read on the beauty of suffering here.

 

  • The first prophesy was made

God himself made the first prophesy in the bible when he pronounced judgment on the woman as a result of her disobedience. This prophesy was a sign of hope to come at the appointed time.

The prophesy states thus:

  • I will make you and the woman hate each other; her offspring and yours will always be enemies. Her offspring will crush your head, and you will bite her offspring’s heel.

    Genesis 3:15

Notice that the above prophesy is directed to the woman, and it applies to her offspring (singular).

The woman to whom this prophesy is directed to is Mary and her offspring is Jesus.

  • When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby moved within her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and said in a loud voice, 'You are the most blessed of all women, and blessed is the child you will bear! Why should this great thing happen to me, that my Lord’s mother comes to visit me?'

    Luke 1:41-43

Jesus crushed the head of satan whom was represented by the snake in Genesis 3:14 by virtue of his death on the cross of Calvary.

please read on the early years of Jesus here.

 

  • Clothing was made by God

After Adam and Eve committed sin, they realized they were naked.

God in his love made clothes for them out of animal skin.

  • He answered, 'I heard you in the garden; I was afraid and hid from you, because I was naked.'

    Genesis 3:10

  • And the LORD God made clothes out of animal skins for Adam and his wife, and he clothed them.

    Genesis 3:21

 

  • Paradise was temporarily lost

After Adam and Eve had disobeyed God, they became unworthy of the God's garden. God sent them out of his garden as a result of their disobedience.

  • So the LORD God sent him out of the Garden of Eden and made him cultivated the soil from which he had been formed. Then at the east side of the garden, he put living creatures and a flaming sword which turned in all directions. This was to keep anyone from coming near the tree that gives life.

    Genesis 3:23-24

Note: The Garden of Eden in this instance is synonymous to paradise.

please read on the parable of the prodigal son here.

 

  • Man's disobedience brought about the revelation of Jesus and the re-opening of paradise

    The angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary; God has been gracious to you. You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.'

    Luke 1:30-31

Without any doubt, this is the biggest consequence of man’s sin (sin of disobedience). In fact this consequence outweighs the sin itself since it flowed from obedience, love, humility and mercy in the person of Jesus Christ.

Please read read the biblical account of human disobedience here.

Come to think of it, do you think Jesus would have been revealed if man had not sinned and became death worthy?

For this reason, scholars will regard the disobedience of Adam and Eve as a 'sweet fall'. It was this fall that revealed the love, mercy and justice of God.

The main purpose for Jesus' coming (to earth) was to save all human beings from death; which he successfully accomplished by shedding his precious blood on the cross of Calvary.

Jesus justified man with his humiliations, beatings, sorrows, pains and eventually, his death. It was the death of Jesus that opened paradise once again.

  • And he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, Jesus when you come as King!” Jesus said to him, “I promise you that today you will be in paradise with me.'

    Luke 23:42-43


In general, the consequences of Adam and Eve's disobedience (including our own sins) brought about the revelation of God's begotten son, Jesus, who suffered immensely, died and ultimately, resurrected gloriously on the third day.

Notable points in CRS

The parable of the prodigal son as narrated by Jesus himself is one that shows God's incomprehensible mercy and love. This parable is present in the gospel of Luke 15: 11-32.

Jesus began by saying:

There was once a man who had two sons. The younger one said to him, 'Father, give me my share of the property now'. So the man divided his properties between his two sons.

Luke 15: 11-12

From the above passage, it is quite clear that the younger brother had lost interest in the family's affairs. He must have pondered in his heart the sweetness of complete independence on a life of financial abundance.

To actualize his thoughts, he had the effrontery to go to his father to request for his inheritance even though his father is fully alive and active.

Wise men from the east came to visit the infant king. Upon their arrival, they saw the child with his mother Mary. They knelt down and worshiped the infant (Jesus).

Notice that the bible recorded that the wise men knelt down and worshipped the infant (Jesus), according to Matthew 2:11.

Only God can be worshiped. Jesus is always God, even as a baby.

It is important to state that Jesus remained God at every point in his physical existence, even when he was in the womb of the virgin; throughout his life on earth, death on the cross and eventual resurrection.

The wise men from the east opened their treasures and presented the infant Jesus with three significant gifts. These are gold, frankincense and myrrh.

  • Gold represents a symbol of Jesus' kingship. Jesus is the King of kings, even at birth and throughout eternity.

  • Frankincense represents a symbol of Jesus' divinity and a sign of worship. Only God can be worshipped; and as such, Jesus is fully God.

  • Myrrh represents a symbol of Jesus' death. Jesus is truly man, and this is why he was able to suffer and die on the cross.

Please read on the early years of Jesus here.

God created human beings for the following reasons:

  1. To know Him

  2. To love Him

  3. To serve Him

  4. To be happy with Him forever

Our first parent, Adam and Eve enjoyed a life of complete happiness before they committed sin. They never knew what pain nor sorrow was until they disobeyed God. In short, both were perfect beings until they committed the sin of disobedience against God.

Disobedience may simple be defined as the failure to obey rules, command or someone in authority.

Adam and Eve were the first human beings to disobey God.
