Genesis 3-4

“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 …” (v3:6).  Sin happens when we stop trusting the wisdom and love of the Creator and reject His fellowship.  Eve saw that the special tree was beautiful and desirable, but she ignored God’s warning that it was also dangerous.  Her choice to go her own way separated her from God.  

Adam and Eve sinned first by lack of trust.  They didn’t believe following God’s ways would bring them the good things they desired.
