Sin death and beyond

SIN, DEATH AND BEYOND: M.M.NINAN
C
SPIRITUAL DEATH
The immediate result of the sin was the spiritual death. It took place in two steps.
Father came down to walk with His son Adam exactly as before at the cool of the day. But
notice what happened.
When Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord, they “hid themselves from the presence of
the LORD God.” Adam refused to have fellowship with God.
Then because God did not want Man to eat of the Tree of Life and live forever, Adam was
expelled from the Garden and the tree was under guard. We shall see that God was trying to
protect Man from the consequence of the sin by doing that. This expulsion meant that Man will
be mortal like the rest of the animals.
By man came death.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Romans 5:12-17 Why, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
The fellowship had been broken. They were spiritually dead.
