Text: Genesis 3:1-6
Theme: The reason we sin and don’t obey God.
A sovereign God has a perfect will for your life – Why is it that you
have the boldness to say, “Not so Lord”
The will of God is that you carefully maintain the life and 
opportunities that God has given you
The will of God is simply to obey
