The Reason We Die


When GOD created Adam,
He designed him to live
forever. Yes. Eternal life.

What changed that plan?
Evil was introduced to Eve 
Via Satan by way of the serpent.

Desire for knowledge
was Eve's temptation.

Immediately after disobedience,
Death came, voiding eternal life.

Eve was irresponsible, but in GOD'S
Eyes, Adam was primarily responsible.
So when GOD came calling, He questioned
Adam first.

Mankind's spiritual DNA was doomed
that very day, and universal negative
consequences came into play.

Total depravity prevailed;
100% death was the result;
And Satan became the god of this world.
