הם שמעו בקול השטן.‏ מה היו התוצאות?‏

‎Adam and Eve did not obey God‎,‎ so they died‎.‎ Genesis 3‎:‎6‎,‎ 23

Eve listened to the serpent and ate of the fruit‎.‎ Afterward‎,‎ she gave some to Adam‎,‎ and he ate it‎.‎

What they did was wrong​‎—‎it was a sin‎.‎ God made them leave their Paradise home‎.‎

Life was hard for them and their children‎.‎ They grew old and died‎.‎ They did not go to the spirit world‎;‎ they ceased to exist‎.‎

‎The dead are as lifeless as the dust‎.‎ Genesis 3‎:‎19

We die because we all come from Adam and Eve‎.‎ The dead are not able to see or hear or do anything‎.‎​‎—‎Ecclesiastes 9‎:‎5‎,‎ 10‎.‎

Jehovah did not mean for people to die‎.‎ Soon he will bring back to life those asleep in death‎.‎ If they listen to him‎,‎ they will live forever‎.‎
