"But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge and good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die"
Genesis 2:17 (NIV)
God wasn't lying, because when Adam ate from that tree Sin was brought to Earth and death came upon us. Because of this we are separated from God, in fact, that's why Jesus came.
Jesus came to give us access to God. Before Jesus, people could not talk to God without covering they're face because of their sins. Jesus came to take all of our sins and give us power over them.
Before Jesus, the temples of God had a veil over them to signify man's separation from God. When Jesus died that veil was torn from top to bottom. Because of Jesus, Sin and death have no power. Jesus rose from the grave and conquered them. Most importantly, Jesus gave everyone access to heavean, as long as they believe that Jesus died for them. It's that simple. Because of Jesus, we all can have hope for the future.
