Has anyone ever told you a lie about someone? How did the lie affect your view of both people?
Lies affect our view of many different situations, including the people they involve.

1 Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees in the garden. 3 But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’ ”
4 “No! You will not die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “In fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

By listening the serpent, Adam/Eve started to question the goodness and rep of God.
How did the serpent create doubt about God’s command or His goodness?
God said:
Gen
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden, 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die.”
Serpent said:
15 The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and watch over it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden, 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die.”
Serpent: He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?”
1 Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Mistrust and doubt is created...The serpent takes a partial truth that God did say that could eat from any tree but left out the part about the one tree.
Eve said and reminds the Serpent what he left out:
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees in the garden. 3 But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’ ”
Serpent responds with twisting God’s Word:
4 “No! You will not die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “In fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
How did the serpent twist God’s Words? What did God actually say?

The serpent frames the situations as to make Eve and Adam think that God would not really cause them to die and that he might be holding out on them. That God doesn’t want them to be as wise as He is.
The serpent frames the situations as to make Eve and Adam think that God would not really cause them to die and that he might be holding out on them. That God doesn’t want them to be as wise as He is.
The core of sin involves to this day, a mistrusting of God and what He has said.
Are there any areas in your life where you are mistrusting God’s goodness?
