SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:9
¶ Y llamó el SEÑOR Dios al hombre, y le dijo: ¿Dónde estás tú?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-13 - Observe the startling question, Adam, where art thou? Those who by sin go astray from God, should seriously consider where they are; they ar afar off from all good, in the midst of their enemies, in bondage to Satan, and in the high road to utter ruin. This lost sheep had wandere without end, if the good Shepherd had not sought after him, and tol him, that where he was straying he could not be either happy or easy If sinners will but consider where they are, they will not rest til they return to God. It is the common fault and folly of those that have done ill, when questioned about it, to acknowledge only that which is so manifest that they cannot deny it. Like Adam, we have reason to be afraid of approaching to God, if we are not covered and clothed with the righteousness of Christ. Sin appears most plainly in the glass of the commandment, therefore God set it before Adam; and in it we shoul see our faces. But instead of acknowledging the sin in its full extent and taking shame to themselves, Adam and Eve excuse the sin, and la the shame and blame on others. There is a strange proneness in thos that are tempted, to say, they are tempted of God; as if our abuse of God's gifts would excuse our breaking God's laws. Those who are willin to take the pleasure and profit of sin, are backward to take the blam and shame of it. Learn hence, that Satan's temptations are all beguilings; his arguments are all deceits; his allurements are all cheats; when he speaks fair, believe him not. It is by the deceitfulness of sin the heart is hardened. See Ro 7:11; Heb 3:13. But though Satan's subtlety may draw us into sin, yet it will not justif us in sin. Though he is the tempter, we are the sinners. Let it no lessen our sorrow for sin, that we were beguiled into it; but let it increase our self-indignation, that we should suffer ourselves to be deceived by a known cheat, and a sworn enemy, who would destroy ou souls.
