Bible Commentary for Genesis 3:9

Wesley's Notes for Genesis 3:9


3:9 Where art thou? - This enquiry after Adam may be looked upon as a gracious pursuit in order to his recovery. If God had not called to him to reduce him, his condition had been as desperate as that of fallen angels.

    We need to hold fast to them.

    God knew what has happened, his question-Where are you? is a call of reconciliation.He displayed this thru the sacrifice of the animal in the garden to dress Adam and Evil. Today he reconciles with us thru death of Christ.

    Pastor jon ortiz on Genesis 3:9
    It wasn 't a geographical question but a question of relationship. You see sin draws us away from God. In reality God was saying "Adam where are you in your heart? It just shows the reality of the possibility that even though he created us when we let sin govern over our lives we separate ourselves from God. That 's why Jesus said "many will say I knew u and cast devils out in your name and I will say I knew you not. ". The grace and love he has for Adam is also in display here. God gives man free will that 's he gave them the option between both trees. That 's why he didnt kill satan because he wanted to leave man an option. Who will u serve? God or satan u can 't serve two gods.

    Peter on Genesis 3:9
    God place Adam in the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. But Adam give it up to the enemy,he was out of his position that God placed him in. He was away from his wife Eve out of position thats why the serpent could have convince his wife. He should have always kept her at his side. Husbands are not excluded from their position when God give them their help meet. when help comes to you,you dont walk away from your position and leave the helper to carry out what was instructed to you, the husband. God bless

    Dale on Genesis 3:9
    men do not follow the lord because of sin. The Lord is waiting and calling. He is looking and wants to have fellowship with us. Such love the Father has for us. His love should constrain us to worship and serve Him.
