The Forbidden Tree
The Creator “God” placed Adam and Eve in a beautiful garden, full of every kind of tree that provided delicious fruit for them to eat. They were free to enjoy anything they wanted—except for one specific tree. This was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and God gave them a clear command: they must never eat its fruit. If they did, they would surely die.
This tree stood at the very center of the garden, its fruit unlike any other. It was not just a test of obedience but a choice between trusting God’s wisdom or following their own desires. Though they had everything they needed, this one rule would determine their future.
Bible Verse:
“But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it, you will certainly die.” — Genesis 2:17
