When God made the whole world, He made everything perfect. The sun, the moon, the stars, the plants, the trees, the animals, and humans. There was nothing bad on the earth. Everything was perfect. God made Eve out of Adam's side to serve as the perfect helper. Someone Adam could look to as an equal to love. Their marriage was perfect until Satan tempted Eve through a serpent.
The serpent told Eve to look at the fruit of the Garden. She could have whatever fruit she wanted expect of the tree of good and evil. Eve saw with her eyes. The fruit looked so good that she touched it. After Eve saw and touched the fruit; she pressed it against her lips and did eat.Then Eve brought the fruit unto her husband and he ate of the fruit as well. What would happen? It is just a piece of fruit. What would God do to two people eating something He said no to?
The pain was more than what Adam and Eve could bare. The serpent was punished to slither on his belly. Adam was cursed to til the ground and to eat of it. Now, when he would work the ground, he would sweat. Not only work would be hard but thorns would grow from the ground. To Eve, God commanded that he child birth would be very painful. Was this all the causes of Adam's and Eve's sin?
Sadly, this was just the beginning of their reaping. Their son, Cain committed the first murder. Cain killed his brother Abel. Soon the world would be corrupted with evil. Adam and Eve's sin was passed unto the entire world. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; an so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" Romans 5:12. and Roman 3:23 says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Who knew that because of one action, there would be so many problems in the world?
Just remember when there is something that you want to do for yourself, will it help the people around you? Or will it cause everyone pain like Adam and Eve? Everyone is responsible for the actions that they take. So, please make your actions a good one.
