AIM: To show that there were terrible results to Adam’s and Eve’s sin — separation from God forever and under Satan’s control — that were passed down to all mankind. This story will also show God’s great love for mankind by promising to send a deliverer to save them from their punishment. Two attributes of God are stressed here: God is full of grace (God’s kindness to undeserving sinners) and He is merciful (shown by making a way for sinners to escape the punishment they deserve).
