Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Genesis 3:1-15

Genesis HOW SIN CAME IN Gen_3:1 - Gen_3:15 . It is no part of my purpose to enter on the critical questions connected with the story of ‘the fall.’ Whether it is a legend, purified and elevated, or not, is of less consequence than what is its moral and religious significance, and that significance is unaffected by the answer to the former question. The story presupposes that primitive man was in a state of ignorant innocence, not of intellectual or moral perfection, and it tells how that... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 3:1-8

Man and Woman, Temptation Genesis 2:18-25 ; Genesis 3:1-8 Human love is God’s best gift to man. Without it even Eden would not be Paradise. That Adam was able to name the animals, affixing a title suggested by some peculiarity or characteristic, indicated his royal supremacy, and, in so far as we live in God, that supremacy is restored. See Daniel 6:22 ; Mark 1:13 . But what is power without love, or a throne without a consort? Eve was, therefore, given to crown his bliss; taken from his... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 3:9-21

God’s Condemnation of Adam and Eve Genesis 3:9-21 God does not wait for Adam to find his own way back, but hastens in search of him. “Where art thou” is rendered in one version, Alas for thee. Jesus met the Tempter not in a garden, but in the wilderness. He suffered being tempted, but has become to all who obey Him a Life-giving Spirit, and the Author of Eternal Salvation. Read 1 Corinthians 15:45 , and Hebrews 5:9 . The penalty is gone, borne by Him in His own body on the Cross. So Paul... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 3:1-24

Here begins the second section of the Book of Genesis. As the first has answered questions concerning creation, the second replies to questions asked in the presence of sin and suffering and sorrow. The story of this chapter is simple and yet sublime in its interpretation of human history as we are familiar with it. Man is seen in individual innocence and racial immaturity. To him an evil personality, radiant in appearance, makes an appeal. The appeal, in the last analysis, is a questioning... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 3:1-13

The Temptation Genesis 3:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There are some very vital questions which naturally tome to most minds. These we will seek to answer. 1. Did God know that man would sin when He created him? This question has been asked us on various occasions, and we have always replied, that God did know. Known unto God are all of His works from the creation. God knew that man would sin before He created him, because Jesus Christ was a Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world, and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 3:1-16

The First Woman Genesis 2:20-25 ; Genesis 3:1-16 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When we enter into the Bible story of creation there is something that makes it all seem so real, so definite, and so certain. Evolution has nothing of certainty in it; the story of creation has everything. For instance, the whole earth was prepared for God's creation of man. Everything that man needed for sustenance, for clothing, for pleasure, was to be found in the physical creation. Thus, as we enter the Garden of Eden,... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 3:1-24

The Cross in Genesis Genesis 2:22-25 ; Genesis 3:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS If Jesus Christ, in the purposes of God, was given to die before the world was formed, or before man was created; and if man, when he sinned, had no other way of salvation than through the Cross; and if God, in mercy, desired the salvation of the first fallen pair, we certainly would expect to find, in the opening chapters of Genesis, definite statements concerning Christ's Calvary work. It will be the purpose of this... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:1

THE TEMPTATION OF MAN‘Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’ Genesis 3:1 (1)The writer of the narrative intended to imply, by his language, the existence and operation of a personal agent of evil. I. The tempter is admitted into the garden.—The garden was not a sacred enclosure, which he was forbidden to enter. It was not meant then, any more than... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:8

CONCEALMENT FROM GOD IMPOSSIBLE‘Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.’ Genesis 3:8 I. That which strikes us first of all is, that Adam represents the average sinner.—A man may do worse than Adam. Many men have done and do worse than hide themselves from God after outraging Him by sin. Adam’s conduct proves that the sense of God’s presence, awfulness, greatness, was still intact in his soul. II. ‘They hid themselves.’—It was not the... read more
