Adam’s faith

What should Adam have done when the serpent started talking to Eve? What would you do?

You’d scream, probably. But then you’d pray, hard. Because you’d know that only God can deliver you from a dragon.

We sometimes think that Adam should have stepped up and handled the serpent bare-handed. Perhaps; but that confrontation would have been a confrontation of faith, Adam relying not on his own strength but wholly on God.

Unfallen Adam, in short, should have cried out in faith to his Savior Yahweh to save him. To remain unfallen, he needed to be saved.
