Colossians 3:3 ESV
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Dying with Christ means we have forsaken our life for His. Our old life has followed Him into the grave and our new life in Christ, who sits at the right side of God on His throne in heaven. This is how our life is hidden in His and His life in God.
It is our new life which is unseen by the world.
It is only when we die to self that we are able to see God.
Just as the things of God become visible in His light and leave the darkness behind, to the darkness of the world those things that are of the light become invisible to those who remain in the darkness.
Darkness blinds the eye to the light.
The knowledge of good and evil allows us to see both, and therefore we can choose between the two. In choosing Jesus we become the bride of Christ and will be given access to the tree of life.
God now provides the one way back to the Garden, just as there was one way out.
