Genesis 3 is "the fall" account that details the first sin of mankind, which destroyed the perfect fellowship that man had originally been privileged to experience with God and all creation. The consequences of betraying God affected each of the relationships that were initially ideal (Gen 2), but now were cursed. Adam and Eve had given in to the temptations of Satan and were fooled into believing that their way was better than God's. As a result, all of mankind became thereafter "fallen" and in need of God's grace and forgiveness to restore fellowship with Him.
