When Adam sinned I believe what he actually did was open the door to let Sin come on earth. Once sin came in there was no getting him back out. Adam was under the control of a new master and this being opened the door for death to enter as well.
So when death came in it killed Adam’s spirit body (the body of death) in the process and severed Adam from God spiritually. When he died spiritually Adam lost that communion/connection, so God could then only deal with man through his flesh. This event changed Adam’s nature to then only have a living flesh body that interacts with the soul.
No longer having the source of Godly power from his spirit he was the slave of sin, his new master. The children born from Adam were born the same way slaves with dead spirits. We are born dead spiritually. Death then corrupts the soul and body. Eventually the body will die and then all that is left is the final death of the soul. Our slavery to Sin is something we are born into; it is our born nature.
Rom 5:12 – “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Rom 5:15 - “through the offence of one many be dead”
Rom 5:14 – “death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned”
