john macarthur's sermon on genesis 2

After graduating from Talbot Theological Seminary, John came to Grace Community Church in 1969. John MacArthur Sermon:The First Sacrifice (Genesis 3:20-24) Feb. 22, 2016. And then again, in verse 2, she gave birth to another son. Wisdom Literature Series (High Quality) Series (Low Quality) And God was giving to the sinner two choices: this way, that way. And so she names her son that one that was made with the help of the Lord. What hopeful beginnings she must have felt in her heart when that first child was born. Genesis 1:1 Series: The Battle for the Beginning The How, Why, and When of Creation, Part 2A Pastor John MacArthur May 23, 2011 Genesis 1:1 Series: The Battle for the Beginning The How, Why, and When of Creation, Part 1B Pastor John MacArthur May 20, 2011 Genesis 1:1 Series: The Battle for the Beginning The How, Why, and When of Creation, Part 1A And were in chapter 4, and the story is the famous story of Cain and Abel. And he adds this: Itll come about that whoever finds me will kill me. I know whatll happen. But again, at some time, she gave birth to his brother, Abel. Not only let him live, He protects him by marking him with a sign, sort of like blood on the doorposts in Egypt that made the death angel pass over. He settled in the world. And thats what unbelievers do when they hear the message about hell and judgment. Nod is an unknown place, but it symbolizes the place where God is not considered. This is a flat-out rejection of what he knows to be the Word of God. 8:4; Mark 12:26; Luke 16:29; 24:27, 44; John 5:46; 7:22; Acts 15:1; Rom. Why has your face slumped? When we talk about the gospel, when we say the only way to be saved is to come to God as a penitent sinner, broken over your own sin, realizing you have nothing to please God and falling down and crying out for Gods mercy, when you come like that, we also at the same time say, You cant offer God your works, you cant offer God your self-righteousness, nothing you can do can earn your salvation. And at the same time we say that, we are rebuking all those who come to God on the basis of their own goodness. Cains history is a tragic, tragic story. Everybody is a worshiper. Thats why we have to have government. That is the first illustration of the ultimate and only real sacrifice, Jesus Christ, God taking the innocent Son of God, the innocent Jesus Christ, putting Him on the cross, making Him a sacrifice for sinners, and then taking His righteousness to cover the guilty. So, God, I cant get anything out of the ground, youve cursed me. Not somebody who has sort of a mobile tent and moves around.

Bible Introductions - Galatians by John MacArthur - Blue Letter Bible So here what you have is the first example of false worship of the true God. The Lord said to Cain. Now, I want to stop there for a moment just to say this is really the direct Word of God- no more direct than the Bible, but this is the direct Word of God, right from Gods mouth to Cain. And God said He would take away the anger and the bitterness of his heart, and He would lift up his face, and Cain said, Sorry, I dont want your righteousness, I dont want your forgiveness, I dont want a relationship with you, I want my sin. So he plotted it all. My punishment is too great to bear. That is not repentance, folks. And because of what you did, theyre going to seek to kill you. Pastor John MacArthur tells of reading a book that told of a pastor who had been sent to prison for robbing 14 banks to finance his numerous engagements with prostitutes.

So the unbelievers have a hopeful beginning. His focus is upon the effects of the Fall in the undoing of creation and the manner in which God rids His creation of the curse effect. They have hopeful beginnings, they offer unacceptable worship, they resent God and Gods people, they reject Gods Word, they hide their sin. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. When you came under grace, sin was no longer necessarily your master, so dont let it master- you can control it. Its the way it is for people who hold onto their sin and their self-righteousness, who reject God, loving their sin, loving themselves. Unbelievers, even when confronted with the truth- they might come to church- they might not hear the voice of God as Cain did, of course, today- but they might come to church and they might hear a message about sin.
