When God created the human kind, His purpose was that we live forever in a healthy, peaceful environment, called the garden of E'den.. His purpose has not changed, but momentary postponed.
Genesis 2: 15-17 explains where we were suppose to live and how we were suppose to live. Adam had received the model to follow, which was to not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad.
Adam knew that if he did not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, he would not die. That command in Genesis 2: 17, would have made no sense if Adam was meant to grow old and die anyway.
By not eating from the tree, the first couple would have shown their obedience to the One who gave them life. It would have shown that they recognized God's right to direct their ways.
Their disobedience brought death on themselves and on the human race, confirmed in Romans 5: 12.
The sanction imposed for disobedience to God, which amounted to rebellion against the sovereignty of the Ruler of the universe, was death.
Genesis chapter 3 and Romans 5: 12 is mankind's history. They chose Satan's sovereignty that has led mankind to where we are today, described in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 which shows that the human race has become lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness and so forth.....
These attributs have brought a lot of suffering in the world that we are living in. 1 John 5: 19 reminds us that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. And Revelation 12: 9 describes the wicked one as the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth.
What do we get for obeying God? According to your question.
Well ! God's purpose for mankind has not changed. Psalms 37: 29 reads. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.
2 Peter 3: 13 reads. " But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise ( God's promise ) and in these righteousness is to dwell.
2 Peter 3: 14 encourages us to do our utmost to be found finally by him ( by God )spotless and unblemished and in peace.
Galatians 5: 22,23 describes the fruitage of God, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
These qualities will bring to us and to others, great quality and joy in our life, while dealing with life on daily bases. It is also an opportunity to start building the new world we would like to live in.
Titus 1: 2 reads. " And is based on a hope of everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago.
2'000 years age Jehovah God sent his precious Son on earth to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8
Adam and Eve did not appreciate the gift of life that they had received. We have the opportunity to show God our appriciation for our current life and the life he has in stock for the righteous ones.
