Genesis 3 recounts the pivotal moment of humanity's fall into sin. It details the serpent's temptation of Eve, her disobedience and Adam's subsequent participation, and the immediate consequences for them and all creation. This chapter introduces sin, guilt, shame, and the brokenness of relationships, but also contains the first hint of God's redemptive plan, often called the protoevangelium, setting the stage for the entire biblical narrative of salvation.
