GENESIS 3:1-6.

This chapter of the Bible explained how Adam and his wife Eve disobeyed God's commandment but choose to obey the Serpent's deceptions. Jehovah God of all creation placed a curse on the serpent to feed on dust all the days of its life. Does anyone ever wonder what it means for the serpent to be feeding on dust? Many do believe it is a punishment against the serpent for deceiving Eve but there is quite more to it than many would understand. God is only trying to set things right.
Adam was created in the perfect image of God but not in His perfect likeness. The reason is that God knew what was good and evil but created Adam knowing only what is good. The creator knew the knowledge of evil has the opposite of what He wished for them, so He decided they are better off without it even at the expense of not fulfilling His aim of creating Adam in His perfect image and likeness. The knowledge of evil is full of hate and in it are sicknesses, anger, deceptions, murderous act, unbelieving, pains, sorry, death, etc. We all can see how justifiable it was when God withhold the knowledge of evil from Adam and His wife.
God gave Adam and Eve the opportunity of becoming like Him when He planted the fruit of evil in the middle of Eden where He kept them but commanded them never to eat from it. He made them understand that death resides in evil. They disobeyed that commandment and ate from the tree of the knowledge of evil. God was so disappointed in them though they have broken the barriers that separated them from being in the perfect likeness of God. Truly, they now know what was evil and good, becoming a perfect likeness of their creator.
GENESIS 3: 22. At that period, God confirmed that Man was now like one of them. Adam, unfortunately, did not only know what was good and evil alone, he also learned how he was formed out of the dust of the ground. The secret that they never knew until the day they ate the forbidden fruit of evil. Why do you think God told Adam the secret He has kept from him all these while? GENESIS 3: 19. It is because Adam ate the forbidding fruit which helps in edifying his human body above the Spirit of God in him.

The human flesh is created out of the dust of the ground and as such, she needs to feed from the produce of the ground to keep her alive and nourished. It was the urges emanating from their human flesh who desires to have a bite of the forbidden fruit that make it irresistible for Adam and his wife to keep to God's commandment. The fruit of evil was eaten to profit their flesh, so their human flesh became corrupted with evil, she is to die and be returned to where she was taken from.
Their Soul does not eat fruit neither does God's Spirit in them. Their flesh ate and conceded the evil fruit and something remarkable happened thereafter. The human flesh was created only to be a container that would house the human Soul and God's Spirit so as to enable physical manifestation. This same flesh was activated to live but to a life of evil that very day they ate the fruit and because the flesh had conceded evil, she has to die. They lost their immortality immediately after they embraced evil.

Their human flesh dies together with the evil they had conceded in it and will return to dust where it was taken. Satan the evil one who is masquerading himself as a serpent is to come and make a meal of the dust which the human flesh had turned into.
The aim of the creator is to return evil back to its domain. 'Dust shall you eat all the days of your life.' The dust which the serpent was made to eat is the same dust that the human flesh that had conceded evil must have transformed into. God only wants to feed the serpent with the evil it has inputted in the human flesh. The human flesh will die and be transformed into dust together with the evil in it. Satan who is masquerading himself as a serpent should come and feed on the evil-transformed flesh that has turned into dust. Evil is only sent back to its domain.
