About this listen

Many Christians inherit interpretations of Genesis 3 that emphasize guilt and condemnation, but reading the text itself reveals a different story. When Adam and Eve hide in shame after disobeying God, God doesn't abandon them but calls out with love, asking Where are you? This isn't a judge hunting criminals but a parent searching for hiding children. Instead of immediate punishment, God provides clothing and care, demonstrating grace even in the midst of human failure. Reading Genesis through Jesus' lens rather than inherited interpretations shows us a God who pursues us with relentless love, not condemnation.
