B. Satan's Word (Gen. 3:7, 22; 5:5; 1 Jn. 2:15-17 w/ Gen. 3:6)
•“You will not surely die” •“Your eyes will be opened” •“Your will be like God, knowing good and evil”
“Very dangerous is the temptation, when it is suggested to us, that God is not to be obeyed, except so far as the reason of His command be apparent. The true rule of obedience is, that we being content with a bare command, should persuade ourselves that whatever He enjoins is just and right. But whosoever desires to be wise beyond measure, him will Satan, seeing he has cast off all reverence for God, immediately precipitate into open rebellion. …the desire of knowledge is naturally inherent in all…but Eve erred in not regulating the measure of her knowledge by the will of God. And we all suffer daily under the same disease, because we desire to know more than is right, and more than God allows; whereas the principle point of wisdom is a well-regulated sobriety in obedience to God.” Calvin
