They Knew - Genesis 3:2-7

Genesis 3:2-7 ESV 

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

The prospect of being like God is too much for Eve and she succumbs to the temptation. Not only is the tree pleasing to the eye and good for food, but provides a wisdom apart from God. It sounds too good to be true and it is. She and Adam trade the wisdom of God for wisdom of their own. Their eyes are opened, but they see something different than expected. 

She ate for the wisdom it would bring, but only their knowledge was increased and they knew they were naked, having lost the garment of right standing with God.
