In the Garden of Eden, Eve stood at the most consequential crossroads in human history. God had placed Adam and Eve in a paradise of abundance, with only one prohibition — not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. But the serpent, cunning above all creatures, approached Eve and began to twist God’s words, planting seeds of doubt and desire. He told her that eating the fruit would make her like God, knowing good and evil. Deceived by his words and drawn by the beauty of the fruit, Eve took and ate — and gave some to Adam as well. In that moment, innocence was lost, and the consequences of the Fall rippled through all of human history. Yet even in pronouncing judgment, God spoke a word of hope — a promise that one day, the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent’s head, pointing forward to the coming of Christ, the second Adam, who would undo what was lost in Eden.
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." — Genesis 3:15
