The Story: because you have done this

 The Story: because you have done this by ric gustafson

Adam and Eve disobeyed God. But neither asked forgiveness or repented. God gave them a curse. But within this curse are reasons for hope. The serpent was cursed. Eve would experience pain in childbirth. Adam would have to work hard to wrest food from the ground. 

Yet, there are promises and hope. God's holy wrath did not mean the end of the human race. Eve and all women would know the joy of being a mother. 

With God, there is consequences and promises. There is judgment and mercy. There is God's justice and his love for humanity. That is here in Eden.
