What did Satan do to tempt Eve in Genesis 3?
Satan approached Eve, engaged her in conversation, and tantalized her with the idea that something more could be gained if she listened to him and ate from the forbidden tree. He tempted her through the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, and pride of life.
Les explains that Eve was the first to face the three areas of temptation common to all men: the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Satan had already approached her and was holding a conversation with her, tantalizing her with the promise that something more could be gained if she would simply listen to him and eat of the forbidden tree. Les notes that Eve already had it very good, with a sinless, perfect husband, yet she still faced this temptation.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
