himself and away from God, and (3) project that<br />

Adam and Eve<br />

Adam and Eve were created by God in His own<br />

image and likeness (Gen 1:26), and placed in the<br />

Garden of Eden where God had communion with<br />

them daily. They had a perfect relationship with<br />

God.<br />

Lucifer did not like humans’ closeness to God<br />

and plotted to break the bond. He deceived the<br />

woman to eat of the fruit from the tree of the<br />

knowledge of good and evil, and Adam did the<br />

same. God had commanded them to not eat from<br />

that tree as stated in Gen 2:16. “ And the LORD<br />

God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of<br />

the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the<br />

tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt<br />

not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest<br />

thereof thou shalt surely die.”<br />
