A Promise of Hope
Adam and Eve sinned even before they ate the forbidden fruit. As soon as they asked themselves why they should obey God, they had sinned in their hearts. Sin is when we remove God as the ultimate authority and enthrone ourselves in God’s place. By elevating ourselves at the expense of God, God’s good world became broken. Yet, the story of Adam and Eve does not end with despair but with hope. God, in the midst of his judgment, promises that a day will come when one of Eve’s children will utterly annihilate the power of sin. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on July 5, 1998. Series "Genesis 1998". Scripture: Genesis 3:11-24

This is one of the most eye opening sermons you will ever hear. When Tim Keller says that Christianity is a thinking religion he is not kidding. My mind did so much thinking on the ideas he put forth in this sermon, it was spinning like a top! I thought about these concepts for days and days. And the more I thought- the more real they were. I knew I was a sinner saved by grace but this puts a whole new view on the concept.
