Genesis 3:2-5

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit from the trees of the orchard;  but concerning the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the orchard God said, ‘You must not eat from it, and you must not touch it, or else you will die.’”  The serpent said to the woman, “Surely you will not die,  for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like divine beings who know good and evil.”

Notice that in this passage, Satan speaks about God as if He is the "bad guy". There is suggestion in how his argument is delivered, and it is meant to lead to sin. Satan is suggesting that we become like God by disobeying God. After he convinces Eve of the lie that God's command is nothing more than an empty threat, she falls to his deception and eats the fruit from the forbidden tree. When Jesus sent out His disciples, He told them, "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." (Matthew 10:16) Adam and Eve here are sheep, but they are not wise as serpents. Lord, grant us the wisdom and discernment to trash the lies when they come. Lead us not into temptation...
