However, God, in His perfect plan, placed before Adam a simple test , so that Adam might have the opportunity to show God that he loved Him enough to obey His command. That is why He gave him this simple command. God created a man with a mind, a heart, and a free will so that he could choose for himself to love and obey God. Let us reread the Scriptures. Thus, God informed Adam that disobedience to His command would produce death .
All wrongdoing is sin.
Sin is anything that does not agree with God. But if we rely on the Writings of the Prophets, we will see that this is not what death is. In the Holy Scriptures, in the Hebrew language in which it was written, death signifies separation . Death is separation from life. If you disobey me you can no longer have a close relationship with me.
