God created all the earth and the
creatures within it to be good and live
together in perfect peace and harmony
Adam and Eve lived happily tending to
the Garden of Eden and all the animals
in it now the serpent was more cunning
and clever than any animal of the field
which God had made he wanted to trick
the woman so one day he said to Eve has
God really said you shall not eat of any
tree of the garden the woman said to the
serpent we may eat fruit from the trees
of the garden but not the fruit of the
tree which is in the middle of the
garden God has said you shall not eat of
it you shall not touch it or you will
die
the line serpent replied to the woman
you won't really die for God knows that
in the day you eat the fruit your eyes
will be opened and you will be like God
knowing good and evil
when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food that the fruit looked
delicious to eat and that the tree could
make her wise she really wanted to taste
it so Eve was tempted and took some of
the fruit and ate it in James chapter 1
verses 14 through 15 we're told that
when were tempted were drawn away from
God and his will by our own desires and
enticed when we act upon those desires
that are against God's will it's sin
which brings death Eve was drawn away
from God and toward the fruit from the
tree in the middle of the garden by her
own desire to taste it the sly serpent
noticed that Eve desired to eat the
fruit so he came to entice and trick her
he wanted Eve to disobey God and eat of
the fruit of the tree of knowledge of
good and evil so he did everything
possible to try to get her to eat the
forbidden fruit his lies worked and Eve
took some of the fruit and ate it the
very moment she bit into the fruit Eve
committed a sin she disobeyed God and
into temptation then she gave some to
her husband Adam who was with her and he
ate it too immediately their eyes were
opened and they felt shamed for the
first time because they both knew that
they were naked so they sewed fig leaves
together and made coverings for
themselves later when they heard God's
voice as he was walking in the garden in
the cool of the day the man and his wife
hid themselves among the trees of the
garden God called to Adam and said to
him where are you the man replied I
heard your voice in the garden and I was
afraid because I was naked so I hid
myself God said who told you that you
were naked have you eaten from the tree
that I commanded you not to you from
Adam said the woman whom you've gave to
be with me she gave me fruit from the
tree and I ate it God then said to Eve
what have you done the woman cried the
serpent deceived me he told me I would
not die so I ate it
he lied to me Adam and Eve were tricked
that day by the enemy they both sinned
by giving in to their temptation God
created Adam and Eve to be perfect but
he didn't control their actions in other
words they had a free will just as we do
and they had once and desires just like
us
however their desire to eat the fruit of
the tree of knowledge of good and evil
was a wrong desire and when they acted
upon their wrong desire it was a sin you
see if our desires pull us away from God
and His will for our lives than they are
wrong desires and if we act upon them
it's a sin therefore we always have to
be careful because the enemy is going to
entice us to act on our long desires
knowing that when we do it's a sin
