“Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1) What exactly did God say? On the surface this seems innocent enough. But in asking the question Satan misstates the command. Don’t miss the subtlety here. One of Satan’s tactics is to gently and quietly misrepresent the Word of God. He is a master of “almost” saying what the Word says, but not quite. God never said they could not eat from any tree in the garden. He actually only forbid them to eat the fruit from one specific tree. Eve responds by trying to correct what the serpent says. He knew exactly what God said, and I believe he wanted to see if Eve knew what God had said. Eve quickly corrected the serpent; at least she tried to correct the serpent. Her response, like the serpent’s question, was almost right but not quite. One of Satan’s tactics is to question God’s Word. How well do you know what God’s Word says? Would you be deceived by something that is “almost” true? from Kay Arthur
