Sin: What was the nature of God’s judgment as a consequence of their eating?

After Adam and Eve had gone against God’s perfect plan for their lives, the consequences of their sin followed immediately. The serpent, woman, and man all were judged. Only the serpent and ground was cursed (Gen. 3:14). A woman would experience pain in childbirth (Gen. 3:16). A woman would be a helper suitable for her husband. Man would be a worker of the soil (Gen.3: 17-19). The earth will bring forth thorns, thistles, and weeds, instead of fruits. Work will become strenuous task, which would lead to frustration. The consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin were devastating.
