Genesis: The Deception of Sin

The man lived with his wife in harmony in the beautiful garden that God had provided, fulfilling the commission of God, enjoying the provision and presence of God, and obeying the command of God. In the deception of sin everything changes, as man begins to believe a lie about God, and focuses on what he can gain and neglect on what he will lose. He acts on that lie and rebels against God by wanting to be like God, declaring what is good and evil for himself.
