Bible Study Resource – Part 2 – Genesis 2:16-17 (S2Ep43)

“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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.” — Genesis 2:16-17 (KJV)

In this episode, we focus on God’s clear command to Adam and the serious consequences of disobedience. God told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but He also gave him free will to choose. This command highlights a key aspect of our relationship with God: we have the choice to obey or disobey. Temptation will come, but our belief in God’s word is what enables us to resist.

This guide encourages us to trust in God’s Word, resist temptation by walking in the Spirit, and make choices that align with His will. As we reflect on Adam’s choice, we are reminded that every decision we make has a spiritual impact.
