Now continuing on with life after death, the next question is why is death here? Sin came into the world through Adam and Eve, the father and mother who birthed the human race. God created Adam and Eve in his image and also gave them free will. God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of the forbidden fruit in the book of Genesis. Eve was the first woman, the first wife and mother of all. Not only was Eve Adam’s wife, she was also his partner in the undertakings or tasks of the Garden of Eden. There is not much known about Eve. But everyone knows the story of Eve in the book of Genesis, the devil came using a snake to tempt Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. The devil caused Eve to question God's command to not eat the fruit, she had everything she ever wanted in the garden, except the fruit of a tree she and Adam were not allowed to eat of. Of course the fruit on that tree was tempting because she was not supposed to eat of it. The devil helped Eve to forget God's command because she wanted to be like God, knowing both good and evil. Her heart and mind was clouded with the devil's words and she fell for it because she wanted that knowledge. She wanted to be like God. And the same is true with us, we all fall victim to the devil tempting us as well. Eve ate of the fruit but notice, sin didn’t come until Adam ate of the fruit because he was first born, once he ate of the fruit sin came into the world. When Adam and Eve bought sin into the world they brought death also because sin leads to death. The first death was spiritual death, which is being separated from God. Once they ate of the fruit, they broke the spiritual connection they had with God. The second death which is physical death came when Cain murdered his brother Able. When this happened this was the result of Adam and Eve’s past mistake, the sins of the father and mother. Cain was hard headed and did not listen to God's warning. God told Cain that sin is crouching at your door, but Cain did not heed God's warning and later killed his brother. In this way, Cain was like his mother and father, they did not listen to God's warning either and thus brought sin and death into the world. Adam followed Eve in eating the fruit, Adam didn’t have to eat of the fruit but he did because he followed his wife. Adam chose to follow and listen to his wife instead of listening to God who warned him not to eat of the fruit. And again this happens to us in our own lives, like Solomon said, there is nothing new under the sun. We are quick to listen to others and not God. When God tells us to do something we don’t want to listen, but if someone else says do something we will. This is our sin nature kicking in, we naturally want to rebel against God, because Adam and Eve rebelled against God. That's why we have a sin nature. (All sin nature means is rebelling against God). But it is up to us to break the mode and listen to God so we can have a long fulfilling life through Him. Thanks for visiting my website, you guys are awesome!
