Genesis 3:16–19; Romans 5:12; Galatians 3:13; Revelation 21:4
God pronounced judgment: pain in childbearing, conflict in relationships, toil in labor, and death as the return to dust. These are the bitter fruits of sin’s entry into the world.
Romans 5:12 says that through one man, sin entered the world and death through sin. Yet Christ became a curse for us (Galatians 3:13) to redeem us. In the new creation, all sorrow, pain, and death will be wiped away (Revelation 21:4).
Main Points:
- The fall brought pain, struggle, toil, and death.
- Sin’s consequences affect every aspect of human life.
- Christ bore the curse to bring us into blessing.
- In eternity, all consequences of sin will be removed.
