What is the result of sin?

Genesis 2:17 “in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Adam and Eve did not drop dead when they sinned. Adam was 930 years old when he died, is the bible wrong? No, the bible is not wrong, but to understand this will take some work. In the Hebrew what the NASB renders “you will surely die” is “dying you will die.” What we will come to understand is that they died spiritually the day that they sinned, later they died physically and had they not accepted God’s provision of salvation they would have died eternally.
