3) God placed the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the center of the garden – the opportunity to sin was there and they failed (V.9)
4) God meets with his creation in the garden and lays out punishments, but also extends mercy through the covering of Adam and Eve’s bodies, and provides a better way forward
THE BETTER WAY FORWARD….
5) All authority has been given to Jesus (HE IS IN CONTROL)
