We need to understand, there are no sides to the gospel. My side or your side, etc. It is Heaven or Hell. That is the Word. You choose where you will spend eternity.
God created Adam (us/man), Adam chose to please Eve (who was beguiled by Satan, the author of confusion) instead of obeying God's word.
There are 3 trees of utmost importance to us. The tree of Good and Evil was where bad stayed as long as Adam did not partake of it. In Revelation - the Tree of Life (also in the Garden of Eden) is mentioned again:
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
The third tree I refer to is the cross that our Saviour, Jesus Christ, was crucified on so that we might have a choice... it is the only way to get to the Tree of Life now that sin entered into our lives through Adam and Eve. The cross points the way back to covenant with God that was man's to begin with.
Adam & Eve had a choice, now I have a choice, you have a choice.... follow God or follow your own lust, your flesh. A lot of what we do can not be blamed on satan either. We choose to satisfy self. Then, we look for and twist a way into justifying that choice. Adam said "but Eve....", what or who are you blaming?
God made a way for us because He still loves us even after all the disobedience throughout the Bible. And disobedience by us today. He is still trying to get our attention and love. He doesn't want our excuses, just our love and obedience to His commandments.
