Well said Mariam!

One of the definitions of death i read up is “the permanent ending of vital processes in a cell or tissue”. Emphasis on the ending and vital.

When the judgement of death was pronounced after the Fall, it wasn’t just physical death in the distant future—it was the beginning of a breakdown in the very systems that sustained Adam’s existence. This death came in layers: it touched spirit, soul, and body. Spiritually, Adam was disconnected from his life source—GOD Himself. That’s why he hid when GOD came into the garden. Something deep had shifted. His confidence, his communion, his peace—it was gone.

In his body, the decay process began. What was once eternal and thriving would now wear out, break down, and eventually return to dust. But perhaps more quietly dangerous was the impact on his soul. He became exposed to things never meant to be part of the human experience: fear, worry, jealousy, anger, shame. These weren’t just emotions—they were now part of his internal world.

So death wasn’t just one event—it was the collapse of everything vital. It was the entry point of corruption into what was once perfect. A complete disconnection from the way GOD originally designed man to live.
