The Curse — Genesis 3 EFFECT #1 — The curse fundamentally fractured our relationship both to God and each other. (Genesis 3:7-13) EFFECT #2 — The curse corrupted the very spiritual nature of mankind, making sin our inheritance and death our destiny. (Genesis 3:19, Romans 5:12-21) EFFECT #3 — The curse stripped Adam of his divine authority and subjected all mankind to an evil ruler. (Genesis 3:13-15) EFFECT #4 — The curse subjected the entire creation to a state of bondage to corruption. (Genesis 3:16-19, Romans 8:18-25) THE ONLY SOLUTION — The LORD JESUS 1. He became a curse for us -- taking our place on the cross. (Galatians 3:10-14) 2. He paid the price for our sin, dying the death we deserve, (1 Peter 2:24) 3. He destroyed the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8) 4. He has promised to redeem all of creation. (Revelation 21:4-5, 22:3) Putting the Word into Practice All you who are weary and burdened down …come to Jesus to find eternal rest for your souls!
