The first temptation in the history of the human race took place in a garden & with man at peace with the whole animal creation.
The temptation of Jesus, the second Adam, took place in a
wilderness, where he "was with the wild beasts" (Mark 1:13).
That contrast between the first temptation & the
temptation of Jesus - one in a garden, the other in a desert - is a picture of
the ruin which had been wrought by sin.

Eze 18:20 (NLT): “The person who sins is the one who will
die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will
not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for
their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own
wickedness.”
“It won't save your soul if your wife is a Christian. You
have got to be something more than a brother-in-law to the Church.” - Billy Sunday.
