Eve knew not of God 

(she did not have a true, personal, and obedient relationship with God.)

Eve’s heart was hardened by lust, which prevented her from knowing God fully. This is why she could not discern between good and evil. When she ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, she gave the devil a legal ground to attack her mind. She was now gaining knowledge of evil and, through her actions, chose to defile her heart until it turned to stone. Eve was tempted by the devil—the unclean spirit of lust.

While we may be troubled by the events in the Garden of Eden, they reveal how the devil gained entry to wage war on mankind and corrupt the human mind.

Therefore, we must trust God with our souls, and in return, Jesus trusts us to honor Him. For the Word of God is the sword we use to defend ourselves, but holiness is the ground we stand on as we fight. So be holy, for our God is holy! Hosanna!

Did you know the garden was guarded by God's angels but it's not until Eve lust the devil showed up through that door. Protect the gates of your soul with the Word of God. Keep your mind holy.
