Adam and eve were perfect in form and innocence. Baptism brings us back to that innocence but we still retain a wound to our form. Adam and Eve precieved everything around them rightly, they total “got” how/why/and for what purpose God made them and the world around them. They never got sick, they never knew pain etc etc…All these aspects: mental/physical/spiritual were forever changed/harmed by that first sin.
God offers adoption, grace, spiritual admission into His own blessed life AND offering that same innocence Adam and Eve were created into…but that wound from that first sin remained. This is why we get sick, why we die, why we are inclined to move towards sin (all unlike our first parents). When adam and eve looked at eachother in their nakedness…they saw an image of God and only wanted to love, serve and honor that person…when a man looks at a naked woman now…not so much (generally). You can see how twisted our view of our world is now since the fall…much in us has changed.
The human family is one entity…We were all created by God in love and called to love and called not only to be one with eachother but also one with God…our source. When either of us do ANYTHING… it physically and/or spiritually has an effect on eachother.
Throughout salvation history from adam and even onward…thankfully God never stopped loving us, always offering His aid and later even His Son. Gods assistance makes up for what we lack and pull us closer and deeper into God’s life. As catholics, we receive this in the sacraments and God can work outside of the sacraments for the rest of His people
God bless
