Easy

Easy as 1-2-3…

1-Eve listened to the devil’s deception.

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, ‘Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?’ And the woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’ But the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:1-5 ESV).”

2- Lured by the devil’s lies, Eve looked longingly at the forbidden fruit. It was appetizing and the serpent’s words seemed logical. Why shouldn’t she eat from the tree? 

“So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise… (Genesis 3:6a ESV).”

3- Eve ate. She swallowed Satan’s lure; hook, line and sinker. She sank into the depths of sin. To make things worse, Eve she shared with Adam.

… “she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate (Genesis 3:6b ESV).”

Mathematically speaking, Eve didn’t count the cost.
