Gen 3:1 Now serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
Gen 3:3 “but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ “Gen 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
In simple terms, the serpent simply begun a dialogue with the woman in connection with God’s prohibition to the tree in the middle of the garden. Eve describes God’s provision of all the other trees but Satan brushed all that aside to focus on God’s prohibition of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
“After attacking God’s veracity, Satan attacked the truth of God’s word. In other words , Satan was denying God’s statement that they would die if they ate the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden . Unfortunately, instead of Eve authenticating the source and validating the truth of the information, she decided to eat of the fruit and also gave it to her husband who was with her. This is what led to the fall of man.
And today Satan is still using the same old technic. Part of what we receive is outright lies, half baked truths, personal imaginations or information craftily packaged with an intention to mislead, entice, wow and malign other human beings created in the image of God. Like the Bereans ( Acts 17:10,11), we must first authenticate the source of information and the validity of the content. The Bible is not just information about God, it is the only accurate source of the word of God.
