The Bible lays out God's expectations for Adam and Eve at Genesis 1:26-31.

"...God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."(Genesis 1:28 NIV) So God expected the first human couple to care for their earthly home(Genesis 2:8+15), have children and fill the earth with their family(Genesis 3:20)(Acts 17:26). They were expected to live forever and to enjoy the wonderful gift of a paradise garden, expanding it to fill the earth. The only reference to death is made as a consequence of disobedience.(Genesis 2:16-17 / Genesis 3:2-3). Though Adam could have lived forever, he chose to rebel, and died at 930 years old(Genesis 5:5)(1 Timothy 2:13+14) .

To cultivate and take care of the earth(Genesis 2:15), fill it with their children, watch over the animals in their care (Genesis 1:28), and be obedient to their creator (Genesis 2:16+17; Genesis 3:2+3)(Micah 6:8).

The state of Adam and Eve before they sinned. It was the simultaneous possession f sanctifying grace, with its right to enter heaven, and the preternatural gifts.
