The world of Genesis 3 is the world we live in. Seemingly insignificant choices, unbelief, and pride are key aspects of the Genesis account, and of our ongoing struggle.

We are corrupt, and creation suffers a curse on account of Adam and Eve’s lapse—and our own.

According to that same Shuster article, why might God want us “to believe, trust, and obey him even when there is not a reason to do so that we can wrap our minds around?”
????Because God belongs in the center of our lives and putting Him elsewhere would result in us not believing, trusting or obeying him.
