1Now 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’?”

humanity and the earth following Adam and Eve's sin, highlighting
the brokenness of our world and the reason behind human suffering
and toil.

Genesis 3:8-9 demonstrates God's proactive search for Adam and
Eve, signifying His desire for reconciliation with us.
