And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil….’ Gen. 3:22. God is perfect. His creation plan is and was perfect. Eden was a crucial phase of ‘in the beginning’ of man and his existence/fellowship with his Heavenly Father. Consider that God said, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:……(Gen. 1:26)’. Consider, too, that it was immediately after Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge that God proclaimed the fulfillment of ‘Let us make man in our image’ when He proclaimed, ‘…… Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil….’ Gen. 3:22. God clearly demonstrated that He intended man to have ‘free will’ and to choose good or evil, heaven or hell, God or Satan – Life or Death.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalms 139:14
