what was the first Adam's condition and relationship with God at creation?

At creation, the first Adam was made a living soul and existed in perfect fellowship with his Maker. God could walk with him in the cool of the day, and there was nothing between them, indicating unbroken communion and no separation.

Les explains that the first Adam was made a living soul by virtue of creation, in perfect fellowship with his Maker. The Lord could walk with him in the cool of the day, and there was nothing between them—perfect fellowship. This sets up a contrast with the second Adam, who was brought on the scene as a life-giving spirit in the person of the man Christ Jesus, the God-man.
