Satan was the First to Sin in The Garden of Eden
People are under the erroneous impression that Eve was the first person to sin in the Garden of Eden. It was actually Satan who committed the first sin.
When God created man he gave him dominion over the entire world including the animals. Man's dominion over the animals was confirmed when God brought every animal to Adam to name. Even the Serpent, who eventually spoke and caused Eve to sin, was named by Adam for Eve repeated its name in describing her encounter with it to Adam and to God.
Satan knew that the Serpent had already been named by Adam, and was under Adam's dominion, and yet Satan tempted the Serpent to be his mouthpiece to speak to Eve. Satan, in giving the Serpent the ability to talk, took dominion over the serpent from Adam and therefore was the very first 'person' to sin. Afterwards when Eve succumbed to the temptation of the Serpent she was the second 'person' to sin.
Subsequently when Eve tempted Adam to follow her in her disobedience in eating the forbidden fruit Adam became the third person to sin in the Garden of Eden.
It is interesting that since Adam named the serpent, when God brought the serpent to Adam to be named, that the serpent could not talk just like all the other animals Adam named. But when Eve had recounted her sinful encounter with the serpent to Adam, they both knew its name, meaning that they both first encountered the serpent when it could not talk.
So why, if Adam and Eve both knew that the serpent shouldn't be able to talk did they not immediately inform God, who walked in the Garden with both Adam and Eve, that the serpent now had the ability to talk?
Satan violated man's dominion over the animals in giving the serpent the ability to talk and pass along Satan's temptation to Eve. Therefore Satan was the very first 'person' to sin in the Garden of Eden.
If only Adam and Eve had gone to God with the news that the serpent was now talking. Talking about committing a sin against God by eating the forbidden fruit of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Then the horrific events that followed would have been avoided and both Adam and Eve would be still back in the Garden of Eden enjoying the presence of God. (hint: when in doubt always go to God in prayer)
Even after the sin of Adam and Eve in eating the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil, God put in motion the events for man's eventual redemption and readmission back into the presence with God in heaven by having God's very own son Jesus Christ bear the penalty of our sins on the cross.
Believe in the death and resurrection of God's son Jesus Christ, who is God become man, and you'll have all of your sins forgiven, including the original sin of Adam and Eve, and rest assured that you'll have eternal life with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit, in heaven forever!
God Bless
