Page 21 - Pentateuch

Let’s Practice…

1. What were the three ways Satan tempted Adam and Eve?

2. Who walked with Adam and Eve in the garden?

3. Who is referred to as “the offspring (seed) of the woman?”

4. Who were the “sons of God” who married the “daughters of men?”

5. Explain how God “regretted” making human beings.

6. Does God ever change his mind? Does he ever decide he has made a mistake? Explain.

7. Was Noah a better man than the people around him? Explain.

8. Define the word “theophany.”

9. Who was “the angel of the LORD”?

10. How were Adam, Eve, Shem, Noah, and others saved?

Let’s get Personal…

Meditate on the imagery of Eve holding her firstborn in her hands with his perfect, tiny fingers and
eyelashes, and later discovering him to be a murderer. How do God’s “feelings” about his creation teach us
about the nature of sin? How did the godly line of Shem come about? Were all his descendants godly, or
did some fall away from their ancestor’s faith? Do you tend to evaluate people on their appearance, skills,
and personality, or is the most important aspect their faith in God and his salvation?

The apostle John said, “No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in
closest relationship with the Father, has made him known (1:18).” Since Genesis illustrates this truth, how
should the Son’s prominence affect our faith, preaching, and evangelism? What happens when we do not
have a Christ-centered life, ministry, and church?
