       It’s also true that there is a sense in Satan’s statement where, in saying “You will not surely die,” he was playing off the fact that the physical death that was to come upon the humans would not occur immediately. In other words, both Adam and Eve ate, and they didn’t die physically. It would take years for them to actually, physically die. And here, we see another tactic that Satan uses to deceive people. He tells them to sin and that it will not harm them. Often since immediate punishment doesn’t come for a sin, people think they can sin at will and not face any consequences. But that is where they are gravely mistaken. For the unbeliever, every sin committed in this life will be judged in the future by God. So, a person who fornicates, for instance, while they may not see God’s hand against them now for this sin, God will judge them in the future for it. Indeed, God is keeping track of everything everyone does.
