Bible Commentary

Genesis 3:14

God addressed the serpent first and gave the harshest judgment — the deceiver bears great responsibility. Evil does not win; God holds all things to account.

Memory phrase: God judges those who do evil.

Talk about it: What does it mean that God punished the serpent? Was that fair?

Prayer: God, thank You that You are fair and that evil does not win.
