This is a strange sounding couple of verses but they expose the human dilemma.
Gen 2:17 "…for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
Gen 3:5 "…Ye shall not surely die."
After taking the fruit they must have thought, "God was wrong, we did not die."
One of the first steps back to God is finding the reality and all pervasiveness of our deadness.
The beauty of redemption is that when we come back to God through Christ we have a quality of life superior to Adam's original state.
