And YHWH Elohim commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Genesis 2:16-17
God said Adam would die "in the day" he ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but he lived another 900 years. At the moment Adam sinned, he came under the Law's power to condemn. He was sentenced to death.
THIS is the curse of the Law.
Shabbat Shalom Torah Family!

Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin.
Proverbs 30:18-19 ESV
These four things correspond to the four ancient elements: The eagle is air, the serpent is earth, the ship is water, and the man is fire.
At one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:8-10
As a light to the world, we manifest God's creative/restorative power in the world around us. See also Isaiah 60:3.
