Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of the Bible passage from Genesis 3.7-12,21 is to take a moment to think about the consequences of our actions. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree, and were punished with exile from the Garden of Eden. This teaches us that when we make decisions, it is important to consider what the consequences might be. We should recognize that there are often unforeseen consequences for our choices, even if they seem like the right thing to do at the time. We can also recognize that even though things may not turn out as we expected, God is still with us and will work to bring good from our mistakes. Finally, we can learn from Adam and Eve’s example that we should seek God’s guidance before making decisions, so that we will know what is right and what could have negative consequences.
