Because of Adam and Eve's fall into sin, we have inherited the same punishment: we are dust and to dust we will return. God knew that Adam and Eve were dust and because of their disobedience they would return to dust. Prior to hearing the result for their rebellion, Adam and Eve heard God's promise of a Savior. We have heard the same promise of a Savior. God remembered that we too are dust and chose not to leave us in the dust. He sent Jesus to become "dust" for us.
