Prior to Satan telling them they would not die that day if they ate it, humanity had no knowledge of good and evil. (Gen 3:1-5)
When our omniscient God came back to find that they knew they were naked and that they had eaten the fruit, that is when sin came into the world. But it is through Jesus Christ that we are made righteous. (Romans 5:19)
But how do we keep ourselves free from Satan's temptations to our holiness? I believe, brothers and sisters, that we must name and know our true enemy. It is only that way we can be vigilant against it.

A timely sermon Pastor. Why, I just found out today that God-haters are in equal number to those who know and love God, and read His Holy Word regularly. This is a tragedy of epic proportions because, as you say, so many false Christians are spreading false messages of false hope. People are doomed if they water down the Word of God and pretend the parts that make them feel as warm and happy as watching a Hallmark Movie of the Week are what God wants for them. People are being lied to by their own churches, churches who have no idea what they're doing.
And look at the result - people are leaving the Body of Christ.
O come Lord Jesus!
In faith I praise Your Name and celebrate Your victorious return!
