And the Lord God 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 ESV)
When we read the Bible from the beginning, we will notice that the key concept of the Bible is not heaven and hell, but life and death. This concept was introduced straightaway by Moses in Genesis. God told Adam that if he eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he will certainly die. But Adam did not die immediately. He went on to live for 930 years. From this we know that life and death has a deeper meaning.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23 KJV)
