So I was reading the first 3 chapters of Genesis this morning and it just struck me how many of the things that we deal with on an ongoing basis can be traced directly to the fall of man. For starters, the "battle of the sexes," problems with lust, and even temptation...it really hasn't changed.
The process of temptation and sin are still the same:
1)Satan makes you believe you're missing out on something
2)He shows you how beautiful that thing is and tells you how fun it will be
3)You touch the forbidden thing a little bit, don't drop dead instantly, and think you've gotten by with it.
4)The hammer falls, the truth comes out, and it costs you way more than you ever wanted to pay.
Let's take a lesson from Eve. Next time a good looking temptation is dangling in front of you, don't bite.
