# Depend on God - All verse references are to **Genesis 2** (BSB) unless otherwise noted - God gave Adam (us) a command. Really a very simple command. He (we) could eat anything we wanted, but not fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. (16-17) - Although there may be incredible significance in the name of the tree, there is a much more basic and simple lesson here. (16-17) - God created this whole scheme so we would have to depend on Him for everything. Satan is so deceiving and we are so gullible, that the only way we can avoid eating that fruit is to depend on God every second of our lives. We have no hope of success without God. On the other hand we have full assurance of success with God.
