Before the Begotten Son of God came into the picture, man didn’t know the two important things he lost out to the devil in the Garden of Eden through deception– the Sonship and the Kingship.
In the story of Creation, God’s plan from the very beginning is to dwell in man because He is a Spirit (John 4:24). When He created Adam, He gave him a command: ‘’Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of ‘good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’’ Genesis 2:16-17
