Adam and Eve were deceived through the temptation by the serpent, and they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, from which they had been commanded not to eat. As the consequence, sin came into mankind.
The serpent became a cursed one which would crawl on his belly all the days of his life. Eve became the one who would bear the labor pains of child birth and be ruled by the husband. Adam became the one who would bear the pain of labor. And mankind became the ones who would die and return to the ground. The ground was cursed, too. They were driven out from the Garden of Eden. Let us learn two things from here:
Firstly, sin brings its result. Eternal sufferings are waiting for sinners. Evil influence will remain even in Christians if they commit sins.
Secondly, God made a plan for mankind. It is called "protoevangelium", the first gospel. He revealed the plan that the Savior will be born from the offspring of the woman in due time, and he will crush Satan's head.
Let us go preach the wonderful gospel to the people around us!

<The Verse of the Bible>
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.
Genesis 3:15 (NIV)
