       King David penned in Psalm 14, “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good” (ESV). Indeed, there is no one in the world who is inherently good. All are initially evil. All are initially evil, and they only way for people to become good is to accept Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, as a payment for their sins, which then makes them good before God. Let’s go ahead and finish up the passage in Genesis chapter 3, which says, starting in verse 6: “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths” (Genesis 3:6, 7, ESV). So, we see here that Satan succeeded in getting Adam and Eve to want the fruit which was forbidden.
