This was dependent upon Adam's eternal obedience to God, He was created in the image of God, and so he did not have any sinful inclinations. The test God put on Adam was of a limited nature on his freedom:" The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” (Gen. 2:16-17) | |
| Apr 16, 2019 at 12:43 | comment | added | Anne | @Nigel J, would it be fair comment to say eternal life is about quality of life from above, and not about quantity of that life? That eternal life starts at a point in time (when it is granted, given, by God) but it never ends as the one receiving it steps out of time and into eternity at physical death? | |

| Apr 9, 2019 at 14:47 | comment | added | Ozzie Ozzie | @ Nigel J Paul said that Adam was not deceived (1 Ti 2:14) he willfully and deliberately chose to disobey and then as a criminal he tried to hide. When brought to trial, instead of showing sorrow or regret or asking for forgiveness, Adam attempted to justify himself and pass the responsibility off on others, even blaming God for his own willful sin.” (Ge 3:7-12) Therefore Adam justly deserved death, eternal death, without any hope of a resurrection. The supreme judge "God" sentenced Adam (Gen 3:17-17)and said to him :For dust you are and to dust you will return.” Appreciate your comment. | |
