The tree was good for food
Genesis 3:6 kjv. "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." First of all I just want to say, thank God for His loving-kindness and His mercies that endure forever. How many times do we go against God's will and break His commands in our own lives? Yet, He still shows and gives us His Love. Eve fell into deception because of temptation, and Adam followed with unbelief. People will fall when their hearts are set on self. When the woman saw how good the tree looked for food, the lust of the eyes were opened. Then this lust became pleasant to the eyes. She could not look away because the window of her soul was opened up, and gave way to the lust of the flesh. There was no stopping her now, for the pride of life took over. This fruit became a desire for the soul, for it "will make one wise". So she ate the fruit, and gave some to her husband, Adam. How quickly life can change, from walking with the Lord, to hiding from Him in order not to be seen. I thank God for the Blood that Jesus shed at Calvary for you and I. God knew that each one of us would not be perfect, so He gave up His Son, the Ultimate Sacrifice. "Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour." 1 Peter 5:8 amp. Praise the Lord, and God Bless you.
