3. After Adam and Eve had gone against the express command of God, what happened to them? Genesis 3:23-24.
NOTE: ‘Adam and Eve were driven out of Eden, and an angel with a flaming sword guarded the way to the tree of life, that the disloyal, disobedient pair might not gain access to it and thus immortalise transgression.’ Christ Triumphant, page 26.
4. How does Isaiah describe the result of this disobedience and its implications in our lives today? Isaiah 59:2.
NOTE: ‘The God of heaven is “of purer eyes than to behold evil,” and cannot “look on iniquity.” Habakkuk 1:13. It is not because He is unwilling to forgive that He turns from the transgressor; it is because the sinner refuses to make use of the abundant provisions of grace, that God is unable to deliver from sin. “The Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.” ’ Prophets and Kings. page 323.
