Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
As we study the sacred history of man’s fall, folks should determine never to take that route again, for the habit, and tendency to be loyal to man is the sin that will permanently close the probation of this earth, never ever to be reversed. There are several different routes Adam could have taken so as to avoid plunging the human family into the abyss. [1] He could, and should have sought the Lord’s guidance in the matter. [2] He should have refused to eat of the fruit. [3] Lastly, he could have thought of the other 23 ribs he still had.
But the decision to be loyal to Eve instead of to God caused the downfall of the human race and here we are today still suffering the adverse side effects even though Jesus has died and opened up the possibility of life eternal, to those who so choose. What Jesus has done for us is a big deal, and should never be trifled with, but the facts on the ground do remain, no doubt.
We suffer heartache and care, we succumb to various diseases, and folks have to work like hell to put food on the table. Therefore, it is important that we study very closely, and observe Adam’s vein of thought, which brought him to that fatal decision, so that we in our lifetime of experiences could avoid repeating the very same mistakes, with those whom we love.
Job 14:Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
