The Cover-Up Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings (Gen 3:7). Here the sin goes a little deeper. As we have studied, Adam and Eve\’s first response to sin was for them to look at […]
The Fall She took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate (see Gen 3:6). If we listen to the devil, and give serious consideration to what he says, we will almost surely fall into his trap and sin. Those who fall into sin almost never

The Trap And the serpent said to the woman, “You surely shall not die! “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Gen 3:4-5). When the devil saw that the woman had already shown a subtle disrespect
The Question? As stated, there are good and bad questions, which can actually be the same question. Whether they are good or bad is determined by our motives. There was nothing wrong with Eve wanting to understand the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It was only wrong for her to eat from it.
Special Meditation. . Elijah is another example. 1Ki 18:1 ¶ And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 1Ki 18:41 ¶ And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee
The Question? Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the
