Here's a project I had to do for one of my classes. What we had to do was read Genesis 3.1-7 6 days in a row. Here's what we did for each day. You should try it too! It was very enlightening.
Monday- Read the passage from the perspective of God witnessing the sin of His children from heaven.
Tuesday- Read the account with the goal in mind of finding the most important verse in the paragraph.
Wednesday- Read it from Satan's perspective as he tempts God's children
Thursday- Read with the goal in mind of determining how this passage affects your understanding of what Jesus did on the cross.
Friday- Read from the perspective of Adam and Eve as they are sinning. What was going through their minds?
Saturday- Read from the perspective of someone who knows nothing of the Bible or "religious" things and who is reading this passage for the first time.
Genesis 3.1-7
1 The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” 2 “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. 3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”
4 “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5 “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
6 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. 7 At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.
