Disobedience to god
/dis-oh-BEE-dee-ens/
Summary
Failure to obey God's commands, which brought sin into the world through Adam and brings judgment upon all who refuse to submit to God.
☩Origin and Consequences
Through Adam's disobedience, sin entered the world and death through sin. Eve was deceived, but Adam deliberately disobeyed God's command not to eat of the forbidden tree. This single act of disobedience brought condemnation upon all humanity and corruption upon creation itself.

☩Warnings Against Disobedience
Moses warned Israel that disobedience to God's commands would bring curses and eventual exile. The prophets consistently called Israel to repentance for disobeying God's voice. Saul lost his kingdom because 'to obey is better than sacrifice.' The wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
