This created a \"debt\" that separated humans from God. It was like being locked out of a beautiful Garden. Because of this, humans felt distant from God and had to struggle to follow His rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Solution\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first-century Jewish followers of Jesus believed he was the \"Second Adam.\" Because he lived a perfect life and died as a sacrifice, he \"paid the debt\" for Adam's mistake. In legal terms, he unlocked the gate. The \"flaming sword\" that kept people out of the Garden was finally lowered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Result\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the gate is open, you don't have to wait until you die to be with God.
