G.W. North discusses the profound consequences of Adam's choice to disobey God by eating the forbidden fruit, which led to the loss of wisdom and the introduction of folly into humanity. Adam's act not only resulted in his own spiritual downfall but also sold out the entire human race to sin and ignorance, demonstrating that the pursuit of knowledge without obedience to God is ultimately futile. North emphasizes that true wisdom is found in knowing God, and by rejecting this wisdom, Adam set in motion a cycle of human folly that persists through generations. The sermon highlights the need for divine intervention, which God provided through the sacrifice of His Son, to restore humanity's lost estate. Ultimately, the message underscores the distinction between worldly knowledge and divine wisdom.
