In the day Adam sinned, he died. Not biologically, but covenental, ie. sin death. That death reigned from Adam to Moses, Paul being a Jew died daily.
The living were dead, sin separated them from God. The water baptism was symbol of dying and being raised with Christ. Old covenant sin death ended at Christs appearing. We now live eternal due to the perfect sacrifice that covers our sin, that we may be as Adam was, in personal relationship with God through faith in Christ.
The veil has been lifted. Death is defeated!
