Man listened to Satan and sinned against God and brought death upon the human race.
“So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.” Genesis 3:6, NKJV.

When we believe in Jesus Christ and receive Him as our risen Lord and Savior, He forgives us, comes into our lives, and transforms us into children of God.
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12, NKJV.
“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9, 10, NKJV.
