Genesis 3:1-3
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”
“Satan begins his trickery with a half-truth eating from the trees in the garden. Right out of the gate, he tries to confuse what God really said to Eve and get her to believe that she heard God wrong. Eve remembers what God actually said, and repeats that to Satan, standing her ground for now. As you may well know, Satan comes next with more lies about what God has said, and lies about what will, or will not happen if Adam and Eve eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Deception is the game of our enemy, and deceiving you is the only weapon he has against you. You are free from sin and from believing these lies in Christ. Do not grant Satan power that he does not really have in your life.”
