In the last chapter we have seen how the fall of Adam and Eve happened.
Genesis 3:7
Then the eyes of both were opened,and they knew that they were naked;and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.
When their eyes opened the very first thing they sense is about feeling bad about themselves.They felt so bad because they are naked.Before that,they didn't know what bad is or particularly what good they do to make it better.God made them perfect they look perfect to each other.No way Adam said "hey Eve ,whassup you didn't look good today" or "I don't feel like doing my work today" before the curse.
Now they started feeling good and bad in everything.God created them in his own image .They must be perfect but now their feelings and perception started to distort.This is the first ever feeling they experienced.This gene certainly must have passed down from generation to generation.
We men and women simply don't like our looks and get satisfied with that.Something often make us feel bad like"My hair is not good enough"' ," I am too tall" ,"I am too short" ,"I am fat"," I am skinny" list goes on.Even if they look so good they too do something to take care of their beauty.Now please don't misunderstand me we must take care of ourselves and present us neat and orderly in public but the question is, Do we worry about our looks more than our heart? or simply "feeling bad about your body "just because some one or every one says you're not pretty or handsome.
If we have this anguish in our heart we must remember the verse"Let us make man in our image ,after our likeness....."(Genesis1:26). We must try not to trust our distorted feelings with everything. When we are feeling bad or feeling too good we must not swept away by that.we must pray and ask god for balance in our feelings.Word of God will give us wisdom and enlighten us.So this is how Adam and started to felt good and bad through the fruit of knowledge.
