Genesis 3:5, “So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.” More than 900 years after Adam heard the words in Genesis 2:17,”but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” The process of death in creation begins in Genesis 3 as our Creator begins to hand out the punishment for disobedience and curse the ground which Adam was formed from. We are create as eternal beings, not terminal beings and for believers the good news is that we have the opportunity to continue life on the New Earth in the New Jerusalem — but those who reject the Creator will spend their eternity in a lake of fire.
