The Fall Of Man.

At the Garden of Eden were two trees: The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the Tree of Life.

What caused the fall was that man ate the fruit, which hanged on tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This was the tree that man was barred from eating. Eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil produced death in man according to the scriptures. So man’s pain and death all began with the eating of the fruit, which hanged on the tree.

The result of the fall is as follows:

1. Loss of the glory of God which was their covering (Ro 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,(NKJV). Hence, their nakedness was exposed.
2. Separation from God and loss of opportunity to live forever, coming under the control of death Gen 3:22
3. Came under curses Gen 3:16-19
4. Loss of dominion which they exercised and were expected to continue to exercise(Gen.1: 26-28) and their position in the garden (Gen 3: 22).
5. Gave a foothold to the devil. The serpent was to bruise man’s feet Gen 3:15

The Hope For Man

However, when the fullness of time had come, life anew also began with the eating of the fruit of life, which hanged on the tree (the cross).

So when any man eats of the Fruit of Life, in Christ Jesus, he or she would be assured of life eternal.

The sure way according to the scriptures is to believe on Him who hanged on the tree, even the son of God, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
