Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. The serpent insinuated that God selfishly kept them back from the tree, lest they should grow too wise, and become like God himself. The evil one suggested...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when the woman saw — Sin came into the human race by the eye; and that is the way that Christ comes in, by the eye of faith, the spiritual eye. “Look unto me, and be ye saved,” is the counterpart of this word, “When the woman saw “ Gen_3:6. That the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. All they had gained by their sin was a discovery of their nakedness. Poor creatures, how the serpent laughed as his words were fulfilled, “your eyes shall be opened”! They were opened, indeed; and Adam and Eve...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: No doubt, when they had heard the voice of the Lord before, they had run to meet him, as children do to a father when he comes home “in the cool of the day.” But now, how different is their action! Gen_3:8. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? God comes to judge his fallen creature, yet...

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, — Note the calm majesty of every word. Here is no human passion, but divine dignity: “And he said,” —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat! And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. There is no sign of true confession here. Adam had been an unfallen creature a few hours before, but, now, he had broken the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. This is a clear proof of his guilt, first, that he throws the blame on her whom be was bound to love and shield; and next, that he throws the blame on God himself: “The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree.” Ah, me, what...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. How often we throw the blame of our sin on the devil, who certainly has enough to bear without the added guilt of our iniquity! What Eve said was true; but it was not a sufficient reason for her sin. She should not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? Oh, that question! How far reaching it is! By her action, and her husband’s, the flood-gates had been pulled up, and the flood of sin had been let loose upon the world. They had struck a match, and set the world on fire with sin. And every one of our sins is essentially of the...

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; “Thou shalt get thy life out of the ground till thou thyself shalt go into the ground.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. This was a very significant gospel action. The Lord took away from Adam and Eve the withered...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: That would have been a horrible thing, for man to be incapable of death, and so to continue for ever in a sinful world. It is by passing through death that we come...

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. “O, what a fall was there, my countrymen, Then I, and you, and all of us...
