25. Were Adam and Eve forced to give in to Satan’s temptation?

No, God gave the first humans the freedom to obey God’s command or the voice of the seducer. By trusting and obeying God, they could have overcome Satan.

• Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
• Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. (Ephesians 6:16)
