Devil's attack on Glory

 

What was the first attack of the devil on humankind? It was an attack on the glory as

Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God.”

To understand this let us also read, Genesis 2:17,“but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for when you eat it you will surely die.” God created man in his image and likeness; he was allowed to eat from anything but not from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent came to the woman and said “God knows that when you eat of it you will be like him and he does not want you to be like him.” (Genesis3:5)

That was a lie for they were already like him as I mentioned earlier that Glory means to be ‘like Him.’ So, the first attack on mankind was the attack on glory. We further read that God questioned them as to who told them that they were naked. In other words, God’s question to Adam and Eve was that that how did they fall from glory? (Genesis 3:10, 11) Now, that sounds like a frivolous question! If someone is naked, isn’t it obvious that they would know that they are naked and there would be probably no need for someone to tell them. But God was not asking them about physical nakedness. They were covered and immersed in the glory which was their very foundation. God’s question to Adam and Eve was how did they fell from glory?
