JESUS SAVES - FROM WHAT? - Adam died because he disobeyed God

 "To Adam [God] said: 'Because you . . . ate from the tree concerning which I gave you this command, . . .in the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground,, for out of it you were taken. For you are and to dust you will return.'" - GENESIS 3:17, 19. 

Adam ate from the tree that was forbidden to him. That act of disobediencew was not to be taken lightly. It was a rebellion a flagrant disregard for all the good that Jehovah had done for him. By eating that fruit, Adam rejected Jehovah, choosing a course of independence, which would have catastrophic consequences.

Just as Jehovah foretold, Adam eventually died. God had formed Adam "out of dust from the ground" and  had told him that he would "return to the ground."  Adam did not live on in another form or in another realm.  At death, he became lifeless as the dust from which he had been formed. - GENESIS 2:7; ECCLESIASTES 9:5, 10.
