THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT

In the Garden of Eden, God's instruction was "do not eat the forbidden fruit." But Eva convinced Adam to eat the fruit; now they realize they're naked, so they are ashamed. They take fig leaves from a tree and cover themselves. Then God called out to Adam, but Adam hid. After all, now he's afraid because he knows he's naked. God asked Adam, who told him he was naked; have you eaten from the tree of knowledge, now man will be born into sin. So God cursed them and the snake that delivered the message. By making the snake crawl on his belly and eating dust all the days of his life, the woman will have excruciating pain during childbirth, and her desire will be for her husband, and he will rule over her. We are born of a woman with sinful desires; but, God sent His son to save us; but, it is our choice. God won't make us choose because controlling our will did not work in the Garden of Eden, and it does not work now. So, if we want to be saved, we must choose Him, and by choosing Him, we choose Salvation. Once we choose Him, we are no longer walking in the flesh; we are born again through the Spirit. And to mature into a true believers, we must; pray, fellowship, praise, worship, and study His Word to gain wisdom and the knowledge to implement His instruction into our daily lives.
