ARE YOU CONVINCED?

Genesis 3:6 NLT
The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.

Satan tried to make Eve think that sin is good, pleasant, and desirable. A knowledge of both good and evil seemed harmless to her. People usually choose wrong things because they have become convinced that those things are good, at least for themselves. Our sins do not always appear ugly to us, and the pleasant sins are the hardest to avoid. So prepare yourself for the attractive temptations that may come your way. We cannot always prevent temptation, but there is always a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Use God’s Word and God’s people to help you stand against it.

As we read Genesis chapter 3:1-6, we see satan being introduced in the garden. He comes to Eve trying to explain the Word of God to her. We must understand for ourselves what God's Word says and means because Satan will twist God's Word to deceive us. We should always ask ourselves if what we are doing is consistent with what God wants for us.
