Where Was God When Satan Tempted The Woman?

When the devil tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden found in Genesis 3: 1-7 he did not use any Force to make her do it instead he used ancient wisdom through the asking of questions to cause her to see from a lesser perspective which then led to Humanity’s downfall but where was God when Satan was in the garden with the woman why did God allow this and why didn’t he stop him in today’s Bible study we will be looking at where God was during the fall of Adam and how understanding this can help answer some questions in your own life and situation

It turns out Satan questioned God’s word he did not deny that God had spoken but he simply questioned whether God had really said what Eve thought he had said Satan causes Eve to question God’s love for her the way Satan asked this question implies that he was questioning God’s love he was basically saying to Eve that if God really loved you he wouldn’t keep something from you would he Satan used the same tactic on Jesus in the wilderness asking him if you are the Son of God command this Stone to become bread remember just before Jesus

Went into the Wilderness he was baptized by John the Baptist and then the heavens opened and God said this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased and then Satan says to Jesus if you are the Son of God can you see how Satan left out the word beloved this is all found in Luke chapter 3 Satan does not want you to believe that you are loved by God the Genesis narrative reveals that God created Adam and Eve the first man and woman of the human race they were made perfect and sinless and God gave them everything they needed to enjoy and

Thrive he did all this out of his fathomless unconditional love for them God desired them to love him in return and express that love through pursuing a relationship with God out of their own free will for love to be proved genuine God gave Adam and Eve the freedom to choose we can choose to love or not to love to obey God or not to obey him to do good or to do evil if humans had never been allowed to be tested and proven then people would be nothing more than robots God could have created us to love and Obey him automatically he could have

Put a fence around the Garden of Eden and never allowed Humanity to be tempted but God’s desire was and is for people to love him sincerely obey him willingly and worship Him wholeheartedly God told Adam you are free to eat from any tree in the garden but you must not eat from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil for when you eat from it you will certainly die found in Genesis 2:16-17 the tree was God’s test of obedience and love even though Adam and Eve were on the Earth but also had access to paradise and were without sin evil had

Already come into creation through the fall of Lucifer Lucifer was created perfect and beautiful and was in the Garden of Eden prior to his Rebellion as explained in Ezekiel 28:13 Lucifer’s undoing was his proud desire to be like the most high after his fall Lucifer became known as Satan or the devil Satan lured Eve with the same sin he had committed the ambition to be God you see Lucifer did not want to be like God he wanted to be God himself both the tree and Satan presented a test eve took Satan’s bait Adam chose to follow Eve into sin and

The fall of humankind was complete as explained in Romans 5:12 where it says just as Sin entered the world through one man and death through sin in this way death spread to all people because all sinned so why did God allow Satan to enter the Garden of Eden God allowed it as a means of testing Adam and Eve’s love and obedience he wanted to feel a deeper connection with Adam so he wanted to see if he would stand firm for him you see relationships are strengthened through hardships the only true relationships you will have in your life

Are the ones which are forged in the fire God is good wise and loving everything he does is in our best interest and for a good and loving purpose remember what God Said in Jeremiah 29: 11-13 for I know the plans I have for you plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart Genesis 3:1 to9 says now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord

God had made he said to the woman did God really say You must not eat from any tree in the garden the woman said to the serpent we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden but God did say you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden and you must not touch it or you will die you will not certainly die the serpent said to the woman for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing Good and Evil when the woman saw that the fruit of the

Tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye and also desirable for gaining wisdom she took some and ate it she also gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate it then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized they were naked so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day and they hid from the Lord God among the Trees of the garden but the Lord God Called to the man where are

You so here’s the thing God was in the garden when this all happened the Bible did not say that God came down it says they heard him walking meaning that he was already there they didn’t see him when they committed this sin but God is Not intimidated by your sin Romans 5:20 says where sin abounded Grace did much more abound whenever Humanity increases their sin God increases his grace light is greater than Darkness the truth is greater than the LIE the Bible never says the serpent spoke to Adam and Eve but only to Eve only Eve responded and

It is highly unlikely that Adam wouldn’t respond at all if he was involved in the conversation especially with the blatant errors spoken in the conversation logically it is easier to deceive one person than two note the clever reception by the serpent in that he did not go by God’s created order he did not go to Adam first but instead went directly to Eve can you see how it’s not good for a man or woman to be alone why because they’re more likely to make bad decisions you need a team you need people around you to tell you where you

Need to improve remember that a very focused man is also a very blind man if you are looking North you can’t see South and if you are looking East you can’t see West 1 Timothy 2:13 says Adam was formed first then Eve and Adam was not the one deceived it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner but why did Satan Target Eve because women are more wired to receive whereas men are wired to give men give the seed women receive the seed so Satan knew this and targeted Eve instead of Adam have you noticed that most receptionists

Are female this is because women are good at receiving people Adam was formed first and yet it was the woman who sinned first it‘s not that Adam didn’t sin he most certainly did or that he wasn’t deceived at some level but that he wasn’t deceived by the serpent she was the recipient of the Serpent’s deception then Adam listened to her voice which speaks to the Serpent’s path he approached and deceived Eve first rather than approaching the man of course we can say much about the differences in the nature of men and

Women but that’s not what’s in view here God laid down an order in creation and Satan subverted that order leading to the fall in it both man and woman are at fault in simple terms Eve usurped Adam’s headship and led the way into sin and Adam who it seems had stood by passively allowing the deception to proceed without decisive intervention Adam for his part abandoned his post his head Eve was deceived Adam for his responsibility were there specific differences in Eve that Satan sought to exploit her nurturing and empathetic strength was

She more vulnerable in some way to the devil’s deception whether she was or not that is not Paul’s Point here Satan subverted God’s order but now God’s order endures and Redemption will come on God’s terms not Satan’s for now we live in an age not without sin but also not without Grace Remember When sin abounds Grace abounds even more remember what happened to Paul in the Bible how he was killing Christians but then Jesus appeared to him and raised him up to be one of the greatest Apostles to have ever lived let’s look at what the Bible

Says about this Acts chapter 9 says meanwhile Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples he went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus so that if he found any there who belonged to the way whether men or women he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem as he neared Damascus on his journey suddenly a light from Heaven flashed around him he fell to the ground and Heard a Voice say to him Saul Saul why do you persecute me who are you Lord Saul asked I am Jesus

Whom you are persecuting he replied now get up and go into the City and you will be told what you must do the men traveling with Saul stood there speechless they heard the sound but did not see anyone Saul got up from the ground but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing so they led him by the hand into Damascus for 3 days he was blind and did not eat or drink anything in Damascus there was a disciple named ananas the Lord called to him in a vision ananas yes Lord he answered the Lord told him go to the house of Judas on

Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul for he is praying in a vision he has seen a man named ananas come and place his hands on him to restore his sight can you see how even though sin abounded in Saul who was later called Paul Grace abounded in Christ darkness is not greater than light remember that John 3:16 Says for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life sin has lost Christ has won come into his victory by praying this prayer

From the heart dear Lord Jesus I come to you and ask for you to come into my life save me from my sins heal me from my sickness and pain remove my guilt and shame I accept that you the Son of God who died for me and after 3 days you Rose again fill me with your spirit and transform my heart I give my life to you amen if this video has helped you in any way then click that super thanks button below click like and share this video on your WhatsApp Church groups
