In this session on Anthropology and the Effects of the Fall, Billy Myron explores the profound consequences of Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden—death, sin, and separation from God. This study examines both the physical and spiritual aspects of death, the origin and function of the sin nature, and humanity’s utter inability to save itself apart from divine grace.
Beginning in Genesis 2:16–17, Billy Myron traces the divine warning, “In the day you eat of it, dying you shall die,” and explains how this twofold expression reveals both spiritual and physical death. From there, he walks through passages such as James 2:26, Romans 5:12–21, and Ephesians 2:1–6, showing that death in Scripture fundamentally means separation—whether separation of the body from the spirit or of the human spirit from God.
The message further explores:
The introduction of physical death through Adam and the loss of access to the Tree of Life.
The reality of spiritual death, where humanity is alienated from God and in need of regeneration.
The old man and the sin nature—the inherited corruption that renders mankind unable to please God.
The believer’s new position in Christ, through co-crucifixion, co-burial, and co-resurrection with Him (Romans 6:3–11).
The second death described in Revelation 20, and the ultimate judgment of the unsaved at the Great White Throne.
The grace of God as the only solution, offering new life and position “in Christ Jesus” by faith (Ephesians 2:8–10).
This teaching emphasizes that the fall did not merely introduce mortality—it placed all humanity in a state of spiritual helplessness. Yet through Christ’s redemptive work, believers are not only delivered from sin’s penalty but also empowered to live in victory over its power.
