Genesis 3:1-5
Living Bible
3 The serpent was the craftiest of all the creatures the Lord God had made. So the serpent came to the woman. “Really?” he asked. “None of the fruit in the garden? God says you mustn’t eat any of it?”
2-3 “Of course we may eat it,” the woman told him. “It’s only the fruit from the tree at the center of the garden that we are not to eat. God says we mustn’t eat it or even touch it, or we will die.”
4 “That’s a lie!” the serpent hissed. “You’ll not die! 5 God knows very well that the instant you eat it you will become like him, for your eyes will be opened—you will be able to distinguish good from evil!”
Hello, the test given was a psychology test for fitness, this is the kind of testing required by God before salvation can be granted to all person. The test started out as simple as possible the two first people did not or could not know that it was a test in order to observe their reaction. In the book of Revelation, we learn that a final test titled Armageddon will happen again after 1,000 years or the end of the Millennium, and this is the same test.
