1). Immediately Adam and Eve begin to experience the law of sin and death. Adam and Eve feel the emotion of fear for the first time, they begin to experience bondage and torment also for the first time. They begin walking according to the will of their new master who begins working disobedience in and through them. The following Scriptures look at what Christ has redeemed us from when we got born again, but it also reveals what Adam and Eve first began to experience immediately after their disobedience.

a). Ephesians 2:1-3 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2:3 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
