There are a couple of relevant points that happened in the Garden
of Eden. One of them is that we find out that they had been persuaded
by the devil to do something that God dint want them to do. Another
things is that when they ate the fruit, their eyes opened and they saw themselves naked, so they covered themselves. Finally I think that is why we as humans today can be so easily persuaded and always have some sorts of insecurities and the urge to break the rules.

The Israelites were enslaved in Egypt by the Pharoah. It was a rule that all Hebrew newborns were to be drowned in the river but Moses' mother sent him to float away in a basket after which he was found by the Pharoah's daughter and was adopted. Despite growing up as an Egyptian Prince, he was sympathetic towards the Hebrew slaves. He lost his temper one day and murdered an Egyptian after seeing he had killed a Hebrew. He fled to Midian to become a shepherd and there he married and had a family.

Eventually, he came across a burning bush that emitted God's voice instructing him to return to Egypt to free the slaves. He confronted the Pharaoh and brought about the 10 plagues and freed the Hebrews. On his perilous journey to the Promised Land, he was called to climb Mt. Sinai. It was there he was given the 10 Commandments: guidelines in which to live by to achieve heaven and be at God's side.

God's plan for all of humanity is to be followers and to trust God's plan. God has a plan for every human, it is just our choice to accept it or not. It is not easy to accept God's plan because it may not be what we want to do with our life. But if we do choose to follow God's plan, we will be in happiness with the Lord.

Both of these passages describe the human experience by showing that we are made for love and happiness but have sins to overcome. It says that humans must overcome temptation to sin and follow Gods plan. It reflects our choices in life and how God has established the plan for us to go to heaven. The Ten Commandments help us avoid the sin in our lives and help us pursue our place in heaven.

When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, humanity was doomed from original sin. God sent Jesus and through his birth, life, passion, and death Jesus helped to bring us closer to God.
