The garden is where it all started with mankind.  We were made, created innocent, blameless, and guiltless. Until our innocence was stolen with a lie.  Actually it was several lies.  The serpent deceived Eve into doubting what God had said and then he lied about who they were.  Everything after that was downhill.  Until that final hill where Jesus paid the ransom that only He could pay.  And now we have our innocence back, be it spiritual it was that day in the garden Adam and Eve died spiritual and passed it down to every man and women since.  But Jesus is better and greater than the Garden.
