Gen 3:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4 : Next, Satan denies the danger of disobedience. He says, "You shall not surely die," directly contradicting God. He tries to make Eve doubt God’s warning, suggesting that God’s threats are not real. This was a lie, since Satan himself had already suffered for his rebellion. He knew the cost of sin, but still tried to deceive Eve. People are often tempted to sin by the hope that there will be no consequences (Deut. 29:19 ).

‏ Genesis 3:4

v. 4: Next, Satan denies the danger of disobedience. He says, "You shall not surely die," directly contradicting God. He tries to make Eve doubt God’s warning, suggesting that God’s threats are not real. This was a lie, since Satan himself had already suffered for his rebellion. He knew the cost of sin, but still tried to deceive Eve. People are often tempted to sin by the hope that there will be no consequences (Deut. 29:19 ^a).
