"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Gen. 3:1. "And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." Gen. 3:13. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Rom. 3:23. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'" Rom. 6:23.
Man fell from fellowship with God when he was deceived and beguiled by Satan, also known as the serpent. Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thereby bringing death upon all of mankind. ALL men are born as SINNERS as a result of Adam's disobedience. Sinful man will lie, covet, steal, commit adultery, idolatry, and murder or simply not be born again. The inner man shadow image above displays how the serpent took control of the heart of fallen man who was pre-destined for death and destruction from that time forward.
