God Can Feel Hurt - How We Can Bring Him Joy - Continue

 The angel caused a snake, or serpent, to appear to speak. Eve like what she heard-the serpent said she would become like God." So she did what the serpent told her to do. Do you k now what that was? Eve ate from the tree that Jehovah had told Adam they should not eat from. Before God created Eve, he had told Adam: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it you will positively die." 

Eve knew that law. However, she kept looking at that tree, and she saw that it "was good for food and that it was something to be longed for to the eyes . . . so she began eating it." Later she gave the fruit to Adam, and he "began eating it." Why, do you think, did do that? -It was because Adam had come to love Eve more than he did Jehovah. He chose to please her rather than please God. But obeying Jehovah is more important than obeying anyone or else!
