The fall of mankind into sin began when the serpent questioned one of God's commands, namely not to eat of the [[tree of knowledge of good and evil]], and convinced [[Eve]] to eat the fruit, followed by [[Adam]].  The result of disobeying this command resulted in the driving away of Adam and Eve from the [[Garden of Eden|garden]], to live a life of subsistence farming and painful childbearing, and eventually dying.  Genesis 3:15 is also cited as being the first reference to the coming [[Messiah]].
