“And God said…” appears nine times in the first chapter of Genesis. All is going well until chapter three.
In Genesis 3:1 we read, “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, yea hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
Satan as a serpent, questions Eve concerning God’s word to Adam. Did God really say that? Did God really mean what He said? Are you sure that something wasn’t lost from the time God spoke to Adam and Adam spoke to you.
From that day to this Satan has been planting doubts concerning God’s word in the minds of the human race. Moral teachings are called into question along with teachings on the person and work of Christ and the way to eternal life. Jesus accepted the Bible in its entirety as the inspired Word of God. Hear Him as He defeats the devil three times with a simple, “It is written.” Let the Bible be your guide to a happy life.
