- The Voice of Deception 欺哄的声音 (1–6)
Up to this point, God’s word is the only word that has been at work, creating and commanding. Now another “word” enters the scene, the word of Satan, the deceiver. He is a serpent that deceives (2 Cor. 11:1–3), a liar, and a murderer (John 8:44). He questioned God’s word and God’s goodness (v. 1), denied God’s warning (v. 4), and then substituted a lie for God’s truth (v. 5). “You will be like God” is his master lie (Isa. 14:12–14; Rom. 1:21–25), and people still believe it. Eve was deceived when she ate, but Adam was not; he sinned with his eyes wide open (1 Tim. 2:14). He would rather forfeit his dominion than be separated from his wife.
到目前为止，神的话是唯一在运行的话，即创造和命令世界。现在，另一把“声音”出现了，这就是撒旦，那迷惑人的话语。他是欺哄人的蛇（林前11:1-3），是骗子，也是杀人犯（约8:44）。他质疑神的话和神的美善（第1节），否定神的警告（第4节），并以谎言取代神的真理（第5节）。“你们便如神”是撒旦首要的谎言（赛14:12-14；罗1:21-25），而至今仍然有人相信。夏娃是受到欺骗才吃下果子的，可亚当却不是；他是睁着眼犯罪的（提前2:14）。他宁愿放弃自己的统治权也不愿与妻子分离。
- The Voice of Love 慈爱的声音 (7–13)
Guilt produces fear, and fear makes us want to run and hide. Ordinarily, Adam and Eve would run to meet God, but they had become sinners (Rom. 3:10–12). Sinners cannot cover their sins by their own works, nor can they hide from God. The Father sought the lost sinners as Jesus did when He was on earth (Luke 19:10) and as the Holy Spirit does today through His people (Acts 8:29ff.). God wants to use us to call men and women to salvation (Acts 1:8).
罪恶产生恐惧，而恐惧使我们躲避。亚当和夏娃通常会兴奋地与神会面，但如今他们已成为罪人（罗3:10-12）。罪人是无法掩盖自己的罪恶，也躲避不了神的面。天父寻找迷失的罪人，如同主耶稣在世（路19:10），及圣灵通过祂子民的工作一样（参徒8:29）。神要使用我们叫人人得知救恩（徒1:8）。
- The Voice of Judgment 审判的声音 (14, 16–19)
God cursed the serpent and the ground but He did not curse Adam and Eve. The consequences of man’s fall are all around us and we suffer because of them. The ultimate judgment is death. Man can overcome a difficult environment to some extent, but he can do nothing about “the last enemy,” death (1 Cor. 15:26). His only victory over death is through faith in Jesus Christ (John 11:25–26; 1 Cor. 15:57–58).
神咒诅蛇和地面，却没有咒诅亚当和夏娃。人类堕落的后果都呈现在我们的周围，我们因而受苦。最终的审判就是死亡。人在某程度上可以克服艰难的环境，但却对“最后的敌人”死亡无能为力（林前15:26）。战胜死亡的唯一途径是信靠耶稣基督（约11:25-26；林前15:57-58）。
- The Voice of Grace 恩典的声音 (15, 20–24)
In verse 15, God declared war on Satan and gave the first promise of the Redeemer. Satan would bruise Christ’s heel, but Christ would bruise Satan’s head and defeat him (John 12:31; Col. 2:15). Adam believed the promise that his wife would bear children, and his faith saved him. He called her Eve, which means “life-giver.” In response to their faith, God shed innocent blood and clothed them. The only way sinners can be saved is by faith in the shedding of Christ’s blood (Heb. 9:22; see also Isa. 61:10; Eph. 2:8–9). Jesus Christ is “the last Adam” (1 Cor. 15:45–49). The first Adam’s disobedience plunged us into sin, but the Last Adam’s obedience brought salvation (Rom. 5:12–21). The first Adam was a thief who was cast out of Paradise. The Last Adam told a thief he would enter paradise (Luke 23:43). In Adam we die; in Christ we have eternal life.
在第15节中，神向撒旦宣战并第一次给予人类救世主的应许。撒旦会伤基督的脚跟，单基督会伤撒旦的头，并击败他（约12:31；西2:15）。亚当相信夏娃将会多生育的应许，他的信心因此救了他。他为妻子改名为夏娃，即“众生之母”之意。因他的信心，神流了无辜羔羊的血，给他们穿上皮衣。罪人唯一能得救的途径是通过相信基督所流的血得救（来9:22；赛61:10；弗2:8-9）。耶稣基督是“最后的亚当”（林前15:45-49）。因第一个亚当的悖逆，我们陷入罪中，但却因最后的亚当之顺服而得救恩（罗5:12-21）。第一个亚当是一个被赶出天堂的小偷；最后的亚当却告诉小偷，他可以进入天堂（路23:43）。我们虽死在亚当里；但在基督里得永生。
Praying the Scripture 用经文祷告
- There are always two voices in the world – the voice of God and voice of Satan. Let’s pray that we will be discerning. The voice of God is already recorded in the Bible, let’s pray that we read God’s word daily so that we will not be deceived.
这世界总是有两把声音，即神的声音和撒旦的声音。让我们祷告神使我们能辨认这两把声音。神的话语已被记录在圣经中，所以让我们祈求能每日读神的话，叫我们不受欺哄。
- Let’s thank God because God is not only holy and righteous, he is also gracious and merciful. Although we sinned and deserved His punishment, yet He provided a solution for us to repent and be saved. This is the father’s love.
让我们感谢神，因神不仅是圣洁和公义的，也满有恩典和怜悯。虽然我们犯了罪，应该得到神的惩罚，祂却却给予我们一个解决方案，就是悔改并得救。这就是天父的爱。
