God created man to fellowship with Him in loyalty and uprightness of heart,in obedience and love keeping the instructions of not eating from the forbidden tree of good and evil,the day man will rebel and eat from the it he will surely die. Man was not creaded to die but sin produced death a state of spiritual death and eternal death eternaly separated from God never to fellowship again. God is a just God and though He love man He couldn't compromise the righteous justice system by not punishing sin of man,He had to provide a means through which the demands of justice be satisfied and at the same time the man He love be restored from sin. SALVATION is the means trough which the love of God to mankind is shown in Christ Jesus through redemption and in His death the debt of sin is paid for and the relationship between God and man is restored in Christ.
