Inside the garden, a sneaky serpent whispered to Eve, telling her to break the clear rules of God. The creature promised that she would become like a god, tempting her to step away from safety and walk straight into a trap. Yet, human failure cannot break the laws of heaven, nor can it force God to scramble. As the fruit was eaten and the lie of human pride vanished in the cold air, the Almighty did not have to change His path or rewrite the future to handle the sin, because He simply stepped into the garden with a rescue that was ready before the world began.
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5
