We Were Created For an Existence of Eternity with God In the beginning God created humankind for eternity. Eternity was clearly in the mind of God because he told the man, if you eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will die. Why would he have to tell the man he would die, if the man was going to die anyway? This makes it clear that before eating of the tree, Death was not the plan of God. Adam and Eve would have lived and not died and would have had a perfect relationship with God. Let us reason together now and strengthen and encourage one another to fix our minds on eternity and not the troubles of this world.
