Gen 3:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13 : Eve said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate . Eve tried to blame the serpent for her sin. Sin is something no one wants to take the blame for. The devil’s temptations are tricks and lies. Sin is always deceitful (Romans 7:11; Hebrews 3:13 ). Even if Satan tempts us, we are still responsible for our actions (James 1:14 ). We must not use temptation as an excuse, but instead be sorry that we allowed ourselves to be tricked. Their excuses did not take away their guilt. Instead, they showed how unwilling people are to admit their sins fully.

‏ Genesis 3:13

v. 13: Eve said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate . Eve tried to blame the serpent for her sin. Sin is something no one wants to take the blame for. The devil’s temptations are tricks and lies. Sin is always deceitful (Romans 7:11; Hebrews 3:13 ^a). Even if Satan tempts us, we are still responsible for our actions (James 1:14 ^b). We must not use temptation as an excuse, but instead be sorry that we allowed ourselves to be tricked. Their excuses did not take away their guilt. Instead, they showed how unwilling people are to admit their sins fully.
