Failing to Listen to
God Genesis 3:2-6
2 The woman
said to the serpent,
�We may eat fruit
from the trees in
the garden,
3 but God did
say, �You must not
eat fruit from the
tree that is in the
middle of the
garden, and you must
not touch it, or you
will die.��
4 �You will not certainly die,� the serpent said to the woman. 5 �For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.�
6 When the
woman saw that the
fruit of the tree
was good for food
and pleasing to the
eye, and also
desirable for
gaining wisdom, she
took some and ate
it. She also gave
some to her husband,
who was with her,
and he ate it. |

When Eve sinned, satan tricked her by appealing to three natural desires that are God's gift to us. 1) Desire for good food(appetite) 2) Desire for beauty 3) Desire for wisdom Eve even recognizes that she was deceived Genesis 3:13. Satan always appeals to the things that God has given us. Satan takes God's plan for us and twists it for his own purpose, which is sin. Instead of getting pleasure from these natural desires, we become a slave to them. We must be watchful for anything that will come between us and God. Anything that does is truly sin! Neo...
