This reflection explores the timeless truths found in Genesis 3, illustrating how the consequences of sin resonate in modern life. It examines Satan's role in temptation, the shame and guilt that follow sin, and the attempts of humanity to cover up their wrongdoing, drawing parallels to contemporary issues such as morality and personal accountability.
