PRIDE BUSTERS
Listen Adam and Eve, there is a garden full of delicious fruit trees to eat from. But you're going to die if you eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
"From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."
Genesis 2:15-17 NASB
"Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman,
"Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?"
The woman said to the serpent,
"from the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'"
The serpent said to the woman, "You surely shall not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
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 desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
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 loin coverings."
Genesis 3:1-7 NASB
Lucifer fell because of the sin of pride, wanting to be like God. This is how he enticed Eve, by promising everlasting life and evil knowledge; if you disobey God, eating the forbidden fruit.
"They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden." Genesis 3:8 NASB
It is sinful nature trying to cover up your sin; and hide from God.
"Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
Genesis 3:9 NASB
God is omnipresent and omniscient; present everwhere and knowing everything. So, why did Adam and Eve think they can hide from God?
He said, (Adam) 'I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself."
And He said, 'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

Genesis 3:11 NASB
You better tell the truth!
"The man said, 'The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." Genesis 3:12 NASB
Instead of admitting his sin to God, Adam blames Eve. And Eve blamed the Serpent.
God's Judgment on the serpent, Satan
"The LORD God said to the serpent,
'Because you have done this, cursed are you more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life; and I will put enmity between you the the woman, and between your seed and her seed;
(JESUS) He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel."
Genesis 3:14-15 NASB
God's Judgment on Eve her offspring
To the woman He said, 'I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, In pain you shall bring forth children; yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."
"The man said, 'The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." Genesis 3:12 NASB
Instead of admitting his sin to God, Adam blames Eve. And Eve blamed the Serpent.
Pride blames others; and refuses to examines their own sins. The serpent deceived Eve into believing, she could be like God.
Then the LORD God said to the woman, 'What is this you have done?' And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
Then the LORD God said to the woman, 'What is this you have done?' And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
Genesis 3:13 NASB
God's Judgment on the serpent, Satan
"The LORD God said to the serpent,
'Because you have done this, cursed are you more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life; and I will put enmity between you the the woman, and between your seed and her seed;
(JESUS) He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel."
Genesis 3:14-15 NASB
God's Judgment on Eve her offspring
To the woman He said, 'I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, In pain you shall bring forth children; yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."
Genesis 3:16 NASB
God's Judgment on Adam and his offspring
Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life, both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, because from it you were taken; For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Genesis 3:17-19 NASB
Sin and death entered the world because of Adam & Eve's disobedience. It is because of Satan's lie of pride that they were enticed to eat the forbidden fruit.
"So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life." Genesis 3:24 NASB
If Satan told you that you can become like God, would you believe his lie?
Adam and Eve were the first humans to commit sinful Pride and disobedience.

All mankind has been paying for Adam's sin, ever since the fall in the garden.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life...
