How did it get this way?
\xa0
(Genesis 1:26) \u201cThen God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,\u2026\u201d
\xa0
(Genesis 1:27) \u201cSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.\u201d\xa0\xa0\xa0
\xa0
(Genesis 2:9) \u201cAnd the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground\u2014trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.\u201d
\xa0
(Genesis 2:16-17) \u201cAnd the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
\xa0
(Genesis 2:18) \u201cThe LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
\xa0
(Genesis 2:21) \u201cSo the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.\u201d\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
\xa0
(Genesis 2:21-22) \u201cThen the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.\u201d

(Genesis 2:23)\xa0 \u201cThe man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman\u2019, for she was taken out of man."
\xa0
(Genesis 2:24) \u201cFor this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.\u201d
\xa0
(Genesis 2:25) \u201cThe man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.\u201d
\xa0
(Genesis 3:1) \u201cNow the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
\xa0
(Genesis 3:3) \u201c\u2026God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
\xa0
(Genesis 3:4) "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.\u201d

(Genesis 3:5) "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
\xa0
(Genesis 3:6) \u201cWhen the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.\u201d
\xa0
(Genesis 3:7) \u201cThen the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.\u201d
\xa0
(Genesis 3:21) \u201cThe LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.\u201d
\xa0
(Proverbs 14:12)\xa0 \u201cThere is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.\u201d

(Galatians 3:2-3)\xa0 \u201cYou foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.\xa0 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?\u201d
\xa0
(Galatians 3:10-11)\xa0 \u201cAll who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: \u2018Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.\u2019\xa0 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, the righteous will live by faith.\u201d
\xa0
(Galatians 3:19)\xa0 \u201cWhat, then, was the purpose of the law?\u201d

(Galatians 3:24-25)\xa0 \u201cSo the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.\u201d
