The fall of man is really the transition from the state of innocence to the state of being guilty. It is generally believed that the fall brought sin into the word, thereby corrupting the entire natural world, including human nature, causing all to be born into original sin whereby they cannot achieve eternal life. But thank God for Grace which has been made available for us. God the father sent Jesus Christ to this earth, he died for us. He who knew no sin , gave his life as a sacrifice for us and redeemed us from sin.’1 Timothy2;6, ‘he sacrificed himself for all people to free them from their sins’. 1 peter 2;9 ‘But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. We have been redeemed. We are a new creation. Praise God.

THE FALL OF MAN CAME WITH SEVERAL EFFECTS. DISCUSS IN DETAILS THREE EFFECTS OF THE FALL OF MAN
In Gen 1: 26-31 God created man in his image and likeness and gave him dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth- Then in Genesis 2:15 -17 The Lord took Adam and put him in the Garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And God gave him a command saying “you may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat it you shall die”. The devil deceived Eve in Genesis 3: 1-6, she ate of the fruit of the tree and she also gave to her Husband and he did eat. And the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew they were naked. Later they heard the sound of the Lord walking in the garden and they hid themselves from the presence of the Lord. They disobeyed, and that was the beginning of trouble for mankind. That was how sin entered into the world.

The effects of the fall of man

Lost of Righteousness

Before the fall, there was a relationship between Adam and God. The description of how God was “walking” in the garden suggests that there was fellowship between God and Adam. [Genesis 3:8] After Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the forbidding fruit, their eyes were opened, they became aware of their nakedness and was ashamed and so they hide themselves when they heard the voice of the Lord. Moreso, because of their disobedience, man became guilty. 1 Corinthians 15;22.

God and Man became eternally separated.

Adam and Eve were sent out of the garden of Eden into the world. They lost that fellowship and intimacy they enjoyed in the garden. They suffered physical and spiritual death. They and their children started experiencing sickness, pain and physical death

The ground was cursed.

Genesis 3:17-19, God cursed the ground. God said “cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you’. The fall introduced evil into the world, the Earth would no longer easily yield food, so much suffering, people struggle to earn an income.

In conclusion, the world we live in today is not the very good world that God created in Genesis1;31, the disobedience of Adam brought several significant changes that has affected each and every one of us. Thank God for our redemption. We are free from sin. We have been declared not guilty. Haleluyah.

John 6:35.
Jesus Christ said he is the bread of life and that whoever comes to him shall not hunger and whoever believes in him shall never thirst again. As the bread of life, this means that Jesus nourishes people, spiritually and he also satisfies the deep spiritual longings of their souls. This also means that, those that come to Jesus Christ, and put their trust in him, will not hunger . And their spiritual longing to know God will be satisfied.
John 8:56-59
Jesus Christ told the Jews “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day, he saw it and was glad”. In this verse, Jesus claimed to be alife before Abraham, that was over 2.000 years earlier. Jesus Christ said, before Abraham, I AM, using present tense. He also claimed be the God, that appeared to Moses in the burning bush.
John 10: 25 -33.
When the Jew’s came to ask Jesus to tell them plainly who he actually is, he said to them, “ I told you, and you do not believe, the works that I do in my father’s name bear witness about me. But you do not believe because you are not amongst my sheep”. Because a sheep should hear the voice if his shepherd. Jesus Christ further said “my sheep hear my my voice, and I know them and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life: and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them our of my Father’s hand. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you should not doubt his ability to do what he says he will do. But the Jews always sees him as blaspheming and always looking for opportunity to stone him every time he emphasizes the fact that, he and the father are one.
John 14; 6 -11
Jesus said to him “ I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me if you had known me you would have known my Father also From now on you do know him and have seen him” Jesus is the only way to the father. Jesus alone fulfils the promises of life given by God and so he is able to confer eternal life to all those who believe in him.
Moreso, in verse 8 Philip said “Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us”. Philip apparently asks for some sort of appearances by God. But Jesus made an assertion that those who have seen him have seen the Father…this is a clear claim of deity.
