Jesus likened sins to "debts." (Matthew 6:12; Luke 11:4) When we sin, it is as if we incur a debt to Jehovah. We have to pay the penalty for the sin. Should this debt be left unpaid, it would be canceled only when we die. - ROMANS 6:7, 23.
Is it possible for us to regain all that Adam and Eve lost? Not on our own merits. (Read Psalm 49:7-9.) Without help, we would have no hope for a future life or a resurrection. In fact, our death would be just as like that of animals. - ECCLESIASTES 3:19; 2 PETER 2:12.
