Everything Adam and Eve knew came about as a result of God’s word. He spoke...and it was. The sun, the moon, the stars, the plants, the animals around them. God’s word was responsible for it all. And now, that perfect word of God was attacked through a question posed by the serpent: Did God really say? We ought to spend moments throughout the day remembering what God has said. We will often be challenged, but it is in our abiding in Christ and His word that we find ourselves secure.

[Genesis 3:1-7]

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’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 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.’ ” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when 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, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.
