The Fall of Man Genesis Ch:3

This is my 3rd post on my 365 day bible challenge.  One of the first things that were apparent to me in this Chapter was Satan’s lies.   At this point, God made man, brought the animals to Adam to be named, then made Wo-man (from man) from Adams rib.  During my reading, I focused on how Satan (the serpent) introduced himself to Eve.

Gen 3:1-4″… And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, “You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?”. 2 The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, “You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.” 4The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!”

When God found out about what Adam had done, Adam blamed Eve for sinning, and Eve blamed the serpent. (devil made me do it)

Satan starts by asking a question which Eve knows the answer.  Jesus Christ left the Holy Spirit with us to help us in our walk with Christ.  I believe that the Holy Spirit helps us understand what we read in the Bible, what we hear in Christian fellowship, and what we hear during prayer.  Satan lies by flipping the script on Eve telling her that God is wrong, she will not die, and that God is hiding something from her. Of course later in the reading Eve eats the apple, gives it to Adam and when God finds out, there are dire consequences that we still live with today.

When you deal with temptation, flee from sin!  Sometimes I wonder, why did Satan take the form of a serpent?  Eve could have run away or Adam could have drove the snake out of the garden… What if they both cried out to God to remove this conspiring creature out of the garden?

I thank God that through the blood of Jesus Christ that we have been forgiven.  When we have to deal with the serpent in our lives remember the scriptures so that we can understand how the enemy works and to call on God.

Happy Brothers Day!

To all my Brother’s out there trying to win the battles!

Be the kind of man that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil
says “Oh Crap, he’s up!”

Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets.

So love the people who treat u right.
Love the ones who don’t, just because you can.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.

Forgive quickly.

God never said life would be easy. He just promised it would be worth it.
