The nature of the human person before sin entered his being was righteousness and holiness. This is evident by the way he related to God in the Garden of Eden. God had warned Adam that if he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil he would die, Genesis 2:17. By eating from the forbidden tree, Adam and Eve sinned against God and were thus forbidden to eat from the tree of life which was also in the Garden of Eden. The consequence of this was a separation from God and a miss of eternal life with God.
Scripture says that God is holy and those who worship Him must purify themselves. Indeed David writes “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol” Psalm 24: 3-4. God has set standards for us just like He did with Adam and Eve.
