Eve’s Error, Endgame and Exile

Genesis 3:1–6

Curiosity is a powerful gift — it drives us to learn, grow, and explore. But sometimes, curiosity is not always good. In Genesis 3, Eve’s curiosity about the forbidden fruit led her to question God’s command, trust a lie, and ultimately disobey God.

The serpent didn’t force her to sin — he simply redirected her curiosity. Instead of focusing on all that God had provided, she became fixated on what she could not have. (And sometimes like Eve, we fall for the same trick- redirected curiosity.) We become ungrateful and take for granted what we have and long for what we do not have.

Eve’s curiosity, untethered from discernment, led to a fall that impacted all humanity.

We live in a world full of information, options, and voices. Not everything we’re curious about is healthy or holy. Some questions lead us toward God, while others pull us away from Him. That’s why we need discernment — the ability to judge what aligns with God’s truth.

So we ask ourselves:
– Is this curiosity leading me closer to God or away from Him?
– Am I questioning to seek truth — or simply to justify disobedience?
– What does the Scripture say about this issue?

May the Lord help us to use curiosity wisely 
To seek Your truth and to grow in faith
To honour You with my thoughts and actions. 
Teach me discernment so that I don’t follow every voice, 
But to follow Your voice above all else.
Amen!

Food for Thought:
📍Curiosity without discernment opens the door to deception. 
📍Curiosity guided by discernment unlocks the path to wisdom.

Thank you for reading, and may God bless you immeasurably!

Goodheart
