Genesis 2:15-17  "And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.  And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shalt not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die."

The garden got a name.  Eden.  The perfect place.  Then God gave Adam a job.  Dress it, and keep it.  That was it.  That was all he had to do.

And then God gave Adam  complete freedom--except for one thing.  "It's all yours; I did this all for you.
"
"Just don't eat from this one tree," God says.  "If you do, you will die." You have to wonder if Adam knew about dying--he didn't eat meat, there was no need for a sacrifice!   God din't create man to die.  He created him to live.  He even gave him a "Tree of Life".

But the very fact that God gave him a restriction set the order of things.  God was God the creator  He got to set the rules.  He was and is supreme.  And God said, "Don't eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."  He could have made any restriction such as "Don't eat turnips."  But this restriction had a particular meaning.  If you don't know evil,  if you don't know rebellion, then you can't do it.  There is nothing and no one to rebel against.

God gave Adam the freedom  to disobey.
