Introduction
When we read the creation narrative of Genesis 1 and 2, we hear over and over again the declaration, “and it was good.” This means that everything God made was according to His plan and purpose. There was nothing that God intended to accomplish in creation that was left out. There was nothing lacking. God created the world and everything in it in a way that resulted in man’s good and God’s glory, exactly as God intended.
God’s greatest provision for man was the provision of Himself. God is what we needed most, as our ultimate source of life and fulfillment. Everything we needed could be found in Him. God created paradise and placed man and women in it to live there forever. In the center of this paradise was a beautiful tree and with it came the one and only stipulation given for continued life in paradise. Don’t eat of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
God told man that to disobey God’s command would result in death. The man and woman did not physically drop dead when they disobeyed God’s command. However, they became cut off from their source of life, God Himself, which resulted in spiritual death. Losing the beauty and bounty of the Garden was the least of their loss. They lost the fellowship with God who had made it, and them. We’ll examine Genesis to determine how this happened and how it’s still being played out today.
Genesis 3:1-24

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat 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 has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
