Description

Since Adam and Eve were created with free will, the Lord devised a divine test of obedience using a Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and Satan disguised as a serpent. Obeying God would bring eternal life; disobeying God would bring banishment and death. They were told not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve was tempted by the serpent, disobeyed God, and ate the fruit. Adam also had to choose and he ate the fruit. They became sinners and their fellowship with God was severed.

Genesis 3 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
