Text: Genesis 3:1-5
Genesis 3:1: Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the
woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of
the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, “Ye shall not
surely die”:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
This is dealing with
the fall of man - man’s failure,
temptation, and his fall. We
know that the LORD God had established an “Eden covenant” with man, and we
know that that man was male and female A covenant is a contract, agreement, an engagement
that the LORD God made with man.
