- It all started when God told Adam not to eat from one tree in the Garden of Eden. God said, “If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die” (Genesis 2:17).
- Unfortunately, God’s enemy, the snake, tricked Adam and Eve into thinking God didn’t really love them. So they chose to disobey him (Genesis 3:1-6).
- That’s when death and all the wrong things in the world began. Those wrong things separated us from God, who is perfect. And Adam and Eve eventually died.
- Now everyone who disobeys God (which is all of us) deserves the same punishment (Romans 3:23).
