Summary

In Genesis 3, the first man and woman disobeyed God's one instruction after being deceived by the serpent. Their disobedience brought shame, broken fellowship with God, and hardship into the world -- but even then, God did not abandon them. The story teaches five key lessons about temptation, responsibility, and God's continuing care.
