Genesis 3:1-7Genesis 1 focuses on the creation and order of heaven and earth showing the glory and wonder of God and it is followed by Genesis 2 which looks in more detail at the creation of our first parents Adam and Eve, which showed what the world must have been like before sin and death came into play. Chapter 3 is the fall, and it's where sin, death, and Satan come into play. Our life will make much more sense once we see where it originated and where it began. It is one of the most important sections of the Bible and if you don't understand this the rest of Scripture will make no sense. Pastor-teacher John MacArthur correctly adds, “If you do not understand the origin of sin and its impact based on Genesis chapter 3, then God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil ”. The serpent, under the dominion of Adam and Eve, does not appear so scary or frightening but “cunning”. The serpent asked Eve while she was alone, "Did God really say, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?" (3.1). God actually said, "You may eat of every tree of the garden, but you must not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die" (2:16) -17) . The serpent distorts and manipulates the Word of God. The serpent is trying to change the Word of God. Instead of walking away, Eve had a conversation with the serpent. “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but God hath said, Of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden ye shall not eat, nor touch it, lest ye die” (3:2-3). Eve distorts the Word of God and man should not add or subtract from the Word of God. “God promised that death would follow disobedience; Eva hinted only that death might follow. The serpent then follows Eve and directly contradicts God's Word by saying, “Ye shall not surely die” (3:4). The serpent exploits Eve's doubt by denying the penalty of death and making her believe that she can become like God. Everything that was created by God was good, so the truth was not intrinsically evil. Eve is proud and disobedient to the Word of God. She had faith in herself and no faith in God, and the serpent told Eve “you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (3:5). However, Adam and Eve's were opened and they saw something and it was theirs
