• Man’s rebellion: corrupted mankind and world, spiritually and physically.
• God’s goal in history: Restoration of man and world to a perfect state.
• God’s means: To create a prefect instrument to restore the blessing to the whole world.

Discussion questions
• What does it mean to be ‘God’s perfect representative’ for us today?
• Sin has rendered us helpless and completely dependent on God and his plan of restoration. How do we oftentimes try to deal with sin on our own? Can you think of other characters in the Bible who exemplify this?
• Do you think that the principle of sacrifice and the principle of grace are present in the text of Genesis 3? What other explanations are possible?
