Satan appeals to Eve’s physical needs, personal gain, and uses an appeal to persuade Eve to eat forbidden fruit. First, the serpent appeals to her taste. The serpent offers something attractive that God had forbidden. Eve listened to satan. Secondly, the serpent placed doubt into Eve’s mind causing her to be confused about God’s commands.
And the serpent said to the woman,” You surely shall not
die! (Gen. 3:4).
Thirdly, satan uses an appeal to Eve’s personal power. Satan gives God’s words a different interpretation (Gen. 3:5). According to The Methodology of Satan, “He wants to be like God and he uses the deceptions of self-will, self-sovereignty, and self-rule to replace God’s word with his lies. In those lies is an appeal to the person to be like God, to be independent of God.” Satan tempts us by his evil schemes.
