No different than Eve

Genesis 3
First Verse!
"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord had made."
This is the first time that the serpent is mentioned, which we all know was Satan.
I looked up the word crafty on dictionary.com and this is what was number one.

1. skillful in underhand or evil schemes; cunning; deceitful; sly.
Another word used to describe crafty is ingenious. This means intelligent.
Its just a reminder that Satan(the one who roams around like a roaring lion on THIS EARTH) is extremely intellegent and crafty. He knows every trick in the book in finding a way for man to stumble. (Even more so now! He has had many years of practice)
Even as believers, our soul is safe with the Lord but that will not stop satan and his demons from trying to pull us down, to put things into our heads that maybe make us less in pursuit of our Savior.
Check this out.. check out his craftiness in the first thing that he says.. He said to the woman " Did God REALLY say, you must not eat from any tree in the garden? " See how he worded that? DID GOD REALLY SAY...Its his craftiness that makes people question... because he goes on to say " You will not surely die, For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Dont you just wish you could scream at eve and say NOOOOO!! Dude God told you not to eat from that tree! What are you doing? Dont you know God made you in his image and gave you a life where death will never come? Dont you realize that you have everything you could ever need and are always in the presence of the Lord?!!
Its what we long for ans she had it!!
I know thats what I want to scream....
Its like, thanks guys for the fall of man.
But then I read it again and am I any different? Would I have done anthing differently? Im gonna go ahead and say nope. I probably would have eaten from that tree. Because isnt it just like us to fall into the craftyness of satan and not even realize that what we are doing is causing a far greater affect than we thought? Dont we sugar coat sin all the time and in our mind make it okay? I mean did eve not justify her eating the apple? She made it right in her mind that eating the apple was okay. Verse 6 says "when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was GOOD FOR FOOD and PLEASING TO THE EYE and also desirable for GAINING WISDOM, she took some and ate it.
SNATCH!! Satan decieved her & if she only would have known the consequences to come.
It makes me mad until i realize Im no different.

After all this the Lord gives a list of things that will now happen to adam and eve. He tells eve that he will greatly increase her childbearing pains and that now her husband will rule over her.
He tells adam that the ground is now cursed because of him and that he will have to now work hard for the food that they will eat. And then says that "until you return from the ground, since from it you were taken, for dust you are and from dust you will return."
This is the first mention of death. The consiquence of sin is death. We were created to live eternally but now every single one of us must die ( But thank you Lord for Jesus! Who connects us with you who gives us eternal life after death)
Thats awesome..
Yea, HE LOVES US STILL!!
Now thats crazy love.
