Death is only a matter of time. God's word was true.

Genesis 3:1-24
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’?” “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. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.  And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”  So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
Enter the serpent - a creature made by God and yet a rebel. Where does the bad come from in this good world" he story does nos say. But clearly, God has taken an enormous risk in giving his creatures the freedom to choose. What follows is a brilliant insight into the psychology of temptation and sin: the attempt to shift the blame, and eventual shame.
The serpent questions what God has said then call God a liar. The woman has to set the enticing fruit, the desire to have knowledge like God's, against God's plain command. Eve exaggerates God's strictness and plays with temptation. Does she want simply to know as God knows, or to be God's equal. The decision is deliberate and fatal. The silent Adam makes no protest. He too eats. Man and woman have chosen to go their own way, to disregard the God who gave them life.
But the goodness of God and human sin are like oil and water. Separation is inevitable. The relationship of God with people, and people with one another, is wrecked. Man and woman are no longer at ease together. The serpent is now at enmity with human beings. The woman will experience suffering - in childbirth, the most fundamental human process. Desire and domination will hurt relations between the sexes. Adam's work will be sweat and toil.
Because of their deliberate wrongdoing, access to the 'tree of life' is now denied them. They are to leave the garden, forever. They are on their own, apart from God, alive yet only half alive without him. Death is only a matter of time. God's word was true. Yet still, he shows them tender, parent care.
Why?
Man and woman chose their own way and denied follow the word of the Lord so they were abandoned from the Garden and have to suffer the pain and struggle for their life.

一、人為何離開神：不重視神的話，蛇挑戰神嗎？是夏娃不清楚神的話，以致和蛇討論起來。隨意吃，是鼓勵吃。不可吃是不能吃，神也沒有說不可摸。直接用神的話來引誘人。夏娃對於神的話語一知半解，馬上破功。新約中撒旦對耶穌的試探也是用神的話。第二個原因是人的私慾。即使人對聖經很熟悉，但是會跌倒。重要是要行出神的話。夏娃自己在想的是一好吃、好看、有智慧。所以人犯罪不要怪其他，是人自己的私慾造成的。不要被自己的私慾牽著走
二、人犯罪後的結果1.自然界起了變化2. 人開始害怕見神。信什麼都好，人卻不願信神，與神疏離 3.基督教犯罪就與神疏離 4.人與人之間開始疏離，看到別人的問題，我們也不想被人看到，人有羞愧，彼此有隔閡 5.互相推卸責任，就是神的錯，我們看到苦難、災難時，都怪罪神，怪罪耶穌，基督徒也是怪這個怪那個。confession，認罪，神沒有給撒旦和蛇認罪 
三、神對人犯罪的處置： 蛇用肚子行走，極其卑微。女人生產本來是榮耀的，卻成為痛苦。夫妻爭領導權。亞當受到咒詛是無論怎麼努力都不會滿足。地不再為人效力，勞苦一生。如果人沒有神的一口氣，人就是塵土，怎麼努力都是一場空
四、神對在罪中人的救贖： 神為人遮掩過錯，用樹葉很簡單，神給人福音要生命的代價，皮衣是流血的。死好像刑罰，但是活著卻也是勞苦，人死是神縮短人在世受苦的年日，不死好像永死的狀態。人雖然死了還要復活。
