Text: Genesis 3: 4-7; 1 Timothy 2: 13-14

MEDITATION

Genesis 3:4-7

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

1 Timothy 2:13-14

13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. The Temptation from Satan II

a. He removed the fear of the Lord.

i. There would be no penalty.

ii. She would not die as God had warned.

b. He offered false hope.

i. She would have great knowledge.

ii. She would become like God.

2. The seed of wrong desire

a. Eve’s mind was adversely affected by the doubts planted in her mind by the serpent. The desire to eat of the forbidden fruit grew stronger.

b. She reached forth her hand and partook of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.

3. Involving Adam

a. Adam was not deceived.

b. He yielded to Eve’s persuasion and then both sinned against the Lord God through disobedience.

How we must always be diligent against any and every form of temptation, from Satan or from man!

经文：创世记 3：4-7;提摩太前书 2：13-14

沉思

《创世记 3：4-7》
4 蛇对女人说：“你们不一定死！
5 因为神知道你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你们便如神能知道善恶。”
6 于是女人见那棵树的果子好做食物，也悦人的眼目，且是可喜爱的，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了；又给她丈夫，她丈夫也吃了。

7 他们二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己是赤身露体，便拿无花果树的叶子，为自己编做裙子。

《提摩太前书 2：13-14》
13 因为先造的是亚当，后造的是夏娃；

14 且不是亚当被引诱，乃是女人被引诱，陷在罪里。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 撒旦的试探（二）

a. 撒旦企图除去人起初所敬畏上帝的心

i. 使人误解以为无须接受审判

ii. 她不会像上帝所警告的，不一定死

b. 撒旦给人的是虚假的盼望

i. 她将会得着智慧

ii. 她将会变得像上帝一样

2. 错误贪念并欲望的种子

a. 夏娃因为受了蛇的影响，被迷惑了。她对禁果贪念欲望的心变得更加强烈

b. 她就用手摘下能知道善恶的果子来吃

3. 涉及亚当

a. 亚当并没有被迷惑

b. 他屈服并听从了夏娃的劝说。结果，两人因为没有顺服听从上帝而犯了罪

我们必要努力对抗，克服那些来自撒旦或人的种种试探！
