[Pulp Fiction]

These verses give a great reminder of what before sin entered the world and after sin entered the world.


Genesis ch. 2 (KJV)
25: And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

- Adam and Eve are together, naked in the Garden of Eden and they have NO shame, being that way in front of each other and most importantly, not being ashamed in front of God.



Genesis ch. 3 (KJV)
1: 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?
2: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

- The devil is telling Eve the first lie in the history of creation.

6: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

- In verse 6, sin entered the world.

7: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

- In verse 7, after they both had sinned... they realized what they had done and tried to cover themselves. Because they were now ashamed of what they had done.


8: And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9: And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

- These two verses are powerful. God speaks to us as individuals. He speaks to our hearts, He knows our thoughts. He knows our sins. God knew where Adam and Eve was and what they had done. God wasn't seeking information with this question. God was wanting Adam and Eve to confess and repent for what they had done. But as we have read, they knew what they had done was wrong and they didn't want God to see them because they knew they had sinned and were ashamed/


10: And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11: And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

- These two verses explain why the world hates God. He knows our sin. But as we read in the rest of the verses, people try to blame everybody else for what they did.


12: And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13: And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

- Adam, in verse 12, blames Eve. In verse 13, Eve blames the serpent. As we read in these two verses below earlier verses, God tells Adam not to eat of that tree.

Genesis ch. 2 (KJV)
16: And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

- When God says die in verse 17, it means to die out with God or to turn from God. Not a physical death.


14: And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16: Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17: And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18: Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19: In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

In these verses, we read that God made man sweat, childbirth be painful, He hardened the ground.... making the human race become a farmer as we know it today. Also we read how why our bodies decompose upon death.
