Have you ever wondered why Cain brought an offering of fruit to God in Genesis 4? Have you wondered what was wrong with Cain’s offering so that God did not accept it?

In Episode 53 of the One Verse Podcast, we look at Genesis 4:1-3 for answers to these questions.

The Text of Genesis 4:1-3

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord.

In this discussion of Genesis 4:1-3 we look at:

The birth of Cain and Abel shows that Adam and Eve were still serving as the Image of God
The story that Cain and Abel grew up hearing
The reason Cain brought an offering of fruit to God

Today we begin to look at Genesis 4. And rather than dive right into the text, I thought I would first tell you a story. Hearing this story will help you better understand what is going on in this critical chapter of the Bible.

In this discussion of Genesis 4 we look at:

[#51] Genesis 3 Summary – The Redemption of Sin

By Jeremy Myers

1 Comment

This episode of the One Verse Podcast provides a summary of what we have seen from Genesis 3. There is still some new stuff in this episode, so if you have listened to all the previous episodes on Genesis 3, you will still want to listen to this one.

But if you are just joining us on the One Verse Podcast and have missed most of the previous episodes, this one will get you up to speed. Of course, since what I share today might be a bit challenging, you might also want to go back and listen to some of the episodes from Genesis 3 to get a further explanation and understanding of what we discuss today.

In this Summary of Genesis 3 we look at:

The basic question “What has gone wrong with the world?”
The fact that Genesis 3 does not talk about sin
What God’s response to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3 reveals what God thinks about our own disobedience
Three truths about sin that most of us fail to understand

[#50] Genesis 3:22-24 – The Blessing of Death

By Jeremy Myers

2 Comments

Death.

I know; it’s not a popular topic. But it is what we are talking about today on the podcast.

What do you think about death? Maybe, if you are like most people, you try not to think about it. But if and when you are faced with the issue of death, what are your thoughts about it? In this episode of the One Verse Podcast, I am going to invite you to start thinking about death differently than the way most people think about it.

Believe it or not, while most people view death as a curse and a punishment from God, a proper understanding of death allows us to see it as a blessing and an act of kindness from God. That’s what we’re going to see today in Genesis 3:22-24.

The Text of Genesis 3:22-24

Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever” – therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

In this discussion of Genesis 3:22-24 we look at:

How Genesis would go if we were writing the story.
How death actually was introduced.
Why death is not a curse form God, but a kindness.

[#49] Genesis 3:20-21 – The Emperor Has No Clothes

By Jeremy Myers

14 Comments

When did the first sacrifice in Scripture take place? Lots of people think it happened in Genesis 3:20-21 when God gave “tunics of skin” to Adam and Eve before He kicked them out of the Garden of Eden.

The idea often taught from this is that from the very beginning, sin demands payment, sin demands sacrifice, sin demands death.

Well, I show you something quite a bit different in this Podcast Episode from Genesis 3:20-21.

The Text of Genesis 3:20-21

And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

In this discussion of Genesis 3:20-21 we look at:

Why Adam named his wife Eve
The meaning of “Eve”
Why it is significant that God gave clothes to Adam and Eve
Where the clothes came from
Why there is no sacrifice or death in Genesis 3:21
