Life Giving Scripture

Let me share scripture from the book of Genesis 3 about how man was misled by the serpent/Satan/the devil and about the family of Adam and Eve.
The serpent,Satan or the devil was the most cunning creature of God and said to the woman,’Has God said “you should not eat of every tree of the garden?”The woman said,’we may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden of Eden,but not of the tree in the middle for God said,’you shall not eat it,nor touch it or you will die’.The serpent lied to the woman that they would not die& God knows that when they eat of it their eyes would be opened,be like God & know good and evil.
The woman saw that the tree was good for food,was pleasant to look at,and desirable to make one wise.She took the fruit and ate it.She also gave to her husband,who also ate.Their eyes were opened and they knew that they were naked.The made clothes from fif leaves and covered themselves.
They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of day.Adam and Eve hid themselves from the presence of the lord God among the trees.God called Adam and said,’where are you?. Adam explained that he heard God’s voice and he got afraid because he was naked.God asked him who told Adam that he was naked.God asked him if he had eaten from the tree of knowledge.Adam blamed the woman.So God asked the woman,’what is this you have done?’The woman blamed Satan.
God confronted Satan and told him,’because you have done this, you are cursed more than all other creatures, you will craw on your belly,eat dust all your days, I will put enmity between you and man, and all his descendants’.’Man will bruise your head and you will bruise his heel”.
God told the woman that He would greatly multiply the sorrow of her conception.”in pain you shall bring forth children, your desire shall be for your husband and he shall rule over you’.
God told man that his ground was cursed due to his disobedience,he would toil all his days to get food, problems would follow him and that he would eat herbs.’In the sweat of your face, you shall eat,till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.
Adam called his wife Eve for she is the mother of all men.God made clothes from skin and clothed them.Then God said that because man had become wise, known good and evil,He would send him out of the garden,so he doesn’t eat the fruit of the tree of life and live for ever.Man was taken to till the garden from which he was formed and God placed cherubim at the East of the garden to guard it and a flaming sword which turns every way to guard the Way to the tree of life.
