The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is to test Adamic obedience. I sincerely believe that if the pristine family had victoriously ostracized the cursed tree and, especially, lived to one thousand years of their existence, the LORD God, Who walked in the Garden every cool of the day would have brought for them, clothes to further prove their lordship over the cosmos. God wants to see the true Christ-like lifestyle in the Adamic elevation. It takes true obedience to love the LORD God with all the heart, mind, thought and strength. It does require from an individual, true obedience, to adhere strictly to, “Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left” (Deuteronomy 5:32). The word ‘observe’ is shâmar (shaw-mar’): 'to keep, guard, give heed, have charge of, keep watch and ward, protect, save life.’ The first ever instructions God gave to Adam on his day of creation is, “to dress it and to keep it” (Genesis 2:15); where ‘dress’ is ‛âbad (aw-bad'): ‘to work, serve, to labour, till;' and ‘keep’ is shâmar (shaw-mar’) the same as ‘observe’ of Deuteronomy 5:22. Disappointingly, Adam failed to protect his Eden residence, which is truly God’s house.
