After God pronounces the curses to Eve and Adam, He now drives them from the garden of Eden. The garden had abundant food, beauty, and joy, but the greatest gift in the garden before was God's presence. Banished from the garden, the first two humans are now to cultivate food and live in hardship, in stress, and with pain. Death would await their future, but the relationship with God was not over. As will be common throughout the Old Testament, God makes commandments and covenants with His people, they are unfaithful, God sends them into exile, and God brings them back in restoration. The greatest restoration plan arrives for all God's children, in the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who came to earth on a rescue mission, to die on the cross for our sins, and be resurrected to life again, a foreshadowing for all God's children who submit their lives to Jesus Christ.
"For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many." Romans
5:15
