The Tempter. The woman was approached by the serpent, Devil (Gen 3:1; Rev 12:9; Rev 20:2).
Means. He approached her by speaking in her own language and by falsely interpreting the law of God (Gen 3:1-5; Jhn 8:44).
Points Tempted. The woman was tempted in
1. the lust of the flesh,
2. the lust of the eye,
3. and the pride of life (Gen 3:1-6; 1Jo 2:16).

Results. The woman was deceived (2Cr 11:3); the man was not (1Ti 2:13-15), but the eating of the fruit brought the speedy sentence of death (Gen 2:16-17; Rom 5:12-19). All the guilty parties were involved in the results.
General Results.
1. The serpent was doomed to disgrace and destruction;
2. the woman was doomed to sorrow in child-bearing and subserviency to her husband;
3. and the man was doomed to sorrow, disappointment, and hard labor (Gen 3:14-19).
Remote Results. Man's will power was doubtless weakened by transgression, but he still had the power to partake of the Tree of Life and live forever (Gen 3:22-24). His memory was doubtless weakened by sin, but he remembered all the circumstances of the temptation and transgression (Gen 3:1-13). His reason was doubtless weakened by disobedience, but he was able to attempt to shift the responsibility from his shoulders when confronted with the results of his crime (Gen 3:12-13).
Important fact—Causes of Sin and Death. Sin, death, and their terrible consequences were brought about by
1. hearing,
2. believing,
3. and yielding to a lie.
