START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Genesis 2:16-17
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN / GENESIS 2:16
From the beginning of the history of the human race, God has expected obedience and acceptance of His Word as absolute truth.
- Faith and obedience were the principles that would govern Adam’s relationship to God in Eden. God warned Adam that he would die if he rebelled against the will of God. God spoke specifically about not eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17). Adam had to trust God’s commands because he did not yet know the reality of human death.
- God gave the command (Genesis 2:16-17) as a moral test. It gave Adam a definite and intentional choice to believe and obey, or to doubt and defy his Creator’s will.
- As long as Adam believed God and obeyed, he would enjoy eternal life and fellowship with God. But if he sinned by disobeying, he would experience moral disaster and suffer the tragic consequences of death (Genesis 2:17).
