[#42] Genesis 3:7 – The Greatest Rivalry of All Time

Genesis 3:6-7 are the central two verses of Genesis chapters 2–3. In a previous episode, we looked at Genesis 3:6, and learned a foundational truth about humanity. This episode reveals another foundational truth from Genesis 3:7.

The Text of Genesis 3:7

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

In this discussion of Genesis 3:7 we look at:

• The fourth foundational truth from Genesis 2–3.
• The ideas that desire leads to rivalry with God and with each other.
• Why Genesis 3:7 is both humorous and sad.
