During May we will read a one-month sweep of the whole Bible. The plan is intended to help us see the big story of Scripture. 

Grace

Genesis 3:14-24

14 The Lord God said to the snake,

“Because you did this,     you are the one cursed         out of all the farm animals,         out of all the wild animals.     On your belly you will crawl,         and dust you will eat         every day of your life.



15 I will put contempt

    between you and the woman,     between your offspring and hers. They will strike your head,         but you will strike at their heels.”



16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pregnancy very painful;             in pain you will bear children. You will desire your husband,         but he will rule over you.”



17 To the man he said, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and you ate from the tree that I commanded, ‘Don’t eat from it,’

cursed is the fertile land because of you;         in pain you will eat from it         every day of your life. 18 Weeds and thistles will grow for you,         even as you eat the field’s plants; 19     by the sweat of your face you will eat bread—         until you return to the fertile land,             since from it you were taken;             you are soil,                 to the soil you will return.”



20 The man named his wife Eve because she is the mother of everyone who lives. 21 The Lord God made the man and his wife leather clothes and dressed them. 22 The Lord God said, “The human being has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.” Now, so he doesn’t stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever, 23 the LordGod sent him out of the garden of Eden to farm the fertile land from which he was taken. 24 He drove out the human. To the east of the garden of Eden, he stationed winged creatures wielding flaming swords to guard the way to the tree of life.
