Genesis 3:24, “God forced the man out of the garden. Then God put angels on the east side of the garden. He also put a sword of fire there. It flashed around in every direction. This kept people from getting to the tree of life.” When our Creator forced Adam out of the garden mankind was one degree removed from God and perfection. After Cain killed his brother and moved east of Eden (Gen.4) his family was one more degree removed from God and perfection. Every sin moves us farther away from our Creator.
