What Happened When Adam Sinned? Genesis 3:14-24 Explained

B2L1 In this Bible study lesson, Les Feldick opens Genesis 3 to explain the immediate spiritual consequences of Adam and Eve's sin. Les uses his famous "Three Circles" illustration to show exactly what happened to the human spirit the moment Adam ate the fruit, and how God—the "Hound of Heaven"—immediately began pursuing mankind to save them. Lesson Summary Les reviews the fall of man, clarifying the difference between Eve being "deceived" and Adam sinning "willfully." He connects Genesis 3 with New Testament doctrines in John 3 and Ephesians 2, explaining that while Adam died spiritually the moment he sinned, his physical body continued to live. This lesson lays the essential groundwork for understanding why we need salvation and how God restores the broken fellowship between Himself and man.
