The fallen world in which we live rests on the foundation of a creation that was good before sin crept into it. The point of the fall narrative in Genesis 3 is to point to the human desire for independence from God. To know good and evil is to become the determiner of good and evil; to decide for oneself what is right and wrong and not submit to any external law. In other words, to seek the knowledge of good and evil is to desire emancipation from God; it is to want to be "like God." The entry into sin comes by way of the serpent's lie. The only appropriate explanation is to recognize, the entrance of a spiritual superterrestrial power. Sin did not start on earth but in heaven with a revolt of spiritual beings. In the case of humanity, the temptation by satan resulted in the fall. This is what's unclear about sin, the danger it presents. Unrepentant humanity faces the possibility of God's wrath without the saving grace and power of Jesus Christ's death on the cross and his shed blood.
