It’s interesting in Genesis Satan used silence to perpetuate sin: “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it” (Genesis 3:6). Earlier in chapter two, God told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But when Eve receives the apple after telling Satan the wrong information, Adam could have said something. One correction of Adam, to tell the truth, could have changed everything. But his silence contributed to the sin just as much as just eating the apple. In today’s world, Christians remain silent not only in the world but also in the church.
