The fall of man introduced death into the world, a multifaceted concept in biblical theology.  

Firstly, physical death is the separation of man’s material being (his body) from his immaterial being (his soul and spirit). This is the most commonly understood form of death in Scripture. While all men will experience physical death, the resurrection of Jesus Christ brought the victory over it.  

Secondly, spiritual death is the separation of the individual from God because of man’s sin. This separation occurred immediately when Adam sinned. Regeneration, or salvation, marks the end of spiritual death and restores the relationship with God.  

Thirdly, eternal death, also known as the second death, is the final separation from God for those who refuse to accept God’s offer of salvation. This is a permanent state of separation. While Adam brought death to humanity, Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, brought life. Both the saved and the lost will experience resurrection, but their destinies will be fundamentally different. The saved will experience the resurrection of life, while the lost will face the resurrection of damnation.
