Chapter 2 Chosen in Christ Before the Creation of the World

Here is another question: When God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, did He know that Adam would eat from it, or not?

We cannot say that the Almighty God, who had declared the end from the beginning, did not know it (Isa 46:10). If God knew, He must have intended for Adam and Eve to sin. Even the serpent that tempted Eve was also made by God. It was God’s providence that Adam and Eve were to be deceived by the serpent and eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Ge 3:1-5).
