The Fall is the 'root cause' for when Adam sinned ALL died (spiritually) and one of the two punishments resulting from Adam's transgression was the inheritance of a corrupt nature. Even after regeneration, there is a remnant of the old sin/corrupt nature that prevents a true Christian from being perfect in thought, word and/or deed. (cf. Rom 6:6ff, 7:14-25; Eph 4:22-24)

Moot, since it is impossible for any human being to love God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength in this earthly life. Only the LORD Jesus Christ fulfilled that commandment and it is his obedience (active) which is imputed to those who believe with a true living, Spirit-wrought faith in Him.
