Genesis 3-6 shows how sin entered the world. It also shows the consequences. Life became a lot harder. Also, life was given a time limit. God was gracious and patient. But his patience has a limit.
The best description of sin is in Chapter 4:7. Sin waits at the door to take you. How often do we open that door, rather than denying it entry?
We see that there is always hope. In the genealogy of Adam, there is a man who walked faithfully with God until the day he was raptured into heaven. There are only three examples of this in the Bible.
God also spared Noah and his family for their faithfulness. When the rest of humanity was beyond redemption, God spared his family from the flood. God's love and mercy are as much a part of his character as his wrath/ That wrath is not directed so much at people as their sin. Sin is the real enemy.
