THE BOOK IS AVAILABLE ON AMAZON. CLICK HERE.
God made Adam and Eve in His own image.
Told them not to eat of the tree of knowledge.
In the Garden of Eden, he gave a simple command.
They both disobeyed and were exiled from that land.
Tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit the tree did bear.
Eve shared it with Adam and they both became aware.
Of their nakedness, and their minds filled with fear
Ashamed, they hid from God; to face him they couldn’t dare.
God knew what they did, and expelled Eve and Adam.
His purpose in doing so was to prevent the man and woman
From eating of the tree of life and living forever.
Thus, all humans were sentenced to die for Eve’s error.
They were thrown out into a barren earth to dwell
Told to toil and till the earth for their living, as well.
In suffering the woman was destined to bear children
The serpent was to crawl on his belly and live a life of
ruin.
But God is forgiving and gave us free will to use.
This gift is God's eternal essence and should not be
abused.
Humans possess the knowledge of good and evil.
But we all have free choice to resist the devil.
