Genesis 3:1-6

As we come to the end of chapter 2, everything is absolutely perfect. There is no sin at all, not even a trace. But this would all come to an end. How did it come to an end?Satan, who had already fallen, entered the garden of Eden cleverly deceiving and tempting Eve. Eve was deceived and gave in to the temptation, thus sin entered the world. She then went to Adam, and he transgressed.While we see the devastating entrance of sin into the world, we are also given a template of how Satan will tempt each one of us. We have his playbook. This may be one of the best passages to make us aware of the enemy's tactics and how best to defend against them in our spiritual walk.May God open His word to our hearts. As we live in obedience to the word of God, may we be filled with the Holy Spirit. May we learn from this passage how to live the victorious Christian life.

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
