We must live by God’s rules.

Genesis 2:16-17

16 Then the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat from every tree in the garden,

17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day you eat from it you will surely die.”

God gave a warning to man. First, God warned Adam not to harm him, but because God loved him and wanted him to live well. So, in such a beautiful place, God still gives a warning.

His warnings are no joke.

God’s warnings above were to protect Adam, the warnings were to protect, love, and really put Adam in a position that was always good.

Often, people are given warnings to be defensive, but in such a good place, God made it so that Adam at that time would remain in the glory of God.

God knew there was a devil, so God didn’t want Adam to fall like the devil fell, then he would die.

Adam fell naked, because the glory of God previously covered him.

We walk in life with two conditions: there is a curse and there is a blessing. If you do not obey, then you will surely die, not hopefully. There is no bargaining there; if you violate it, the punishment is maximum.

It is not said because we are so noble or great as servants of God, we do not die, we will die. This is the Word of God that says

Genesis 3:3

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, “You shall not eat it or touch it, or you will die.”

God spoke to the first man, who was very great, to the first man created by God, the most senior servant of God.

God never differentiates between anyone; everyone in the presence of God has their own warnings. We must know what is good and what is not good
