Worth The Risk?

Adam and Eve had the best of all worlds. There were lush gardenss, clear waterfalls, tame panthers and friendly bears. It is hard to imagine their world without pain, sorrow and fear.

When the first couple made the decision to eat what God had forbidden, they had no idea of the anguish they were bringing on themselves. Satan told them everything would work out fine, but when they learned thier oldest son had murdered his younger brother, they were faced with the reality of how their choice had affected their sons.

We are faced with similar choices. We may choose to ignore God's warning, but we don't get to choose the outcome.

Is it really worth the risk?
