Reversing the Curse in our Hearts

As believers, we are familiar with the curse that was brought upon the earth once Adam and Eve had sinned. The physical changes that happened to the earth with thorns and thistles. The pain in childbirth along with the toil and sweat that would come through work. Even the obvious curse of death. These are consequences we can see with our very eyes. But what about some of the consequences we can't see in the natural world?
Of course, the obvious and general one is sin of the heart. The knowledge of good and evil and that being the door where bitterness, anger, hatred and the like enters into a person which have a strong impact on how we see God and each other.
With Christ on the cross, we know he took that from us. The ability to have that door in our heart closed and not be susceptible to death living in our hearts and spirit.
There are some correlations between Adam and Eve's response after sinning, and Christs response on the cross that are important to take note of. Even in his worst moment, he was living out the opposite of what sin would have liked him to do.

First let's take a look at Adam and Eve's responses. One towards God and one towards each other. Their first response was to run and hide from God. The knowledge they had gained told them they should be ashamed and to not be vulnerable with the one who created them. They first hid from each other by covering themselves up and hid from God. Secondly, they played the blame game. When God asked them what had happened, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. These are the knee jerk reactions we all deal with in our hearts when we've seen ourselves observe our actions that don't line up with our new nature. But what does the new nature look like when we are faced with being defensive and blaming people or circumstances for our failures?

For one, Christ refused to play the blame game. On the cross he said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Someone who was completely blameless and not deserving of what was being done to him refused to even point fingers. His mind and heart was not about trying to figure out who was responsible for putting him in such a horrible situation. His only desire was to see them all forgiven for their wrongdoings even when he was the victim.
Secondly, his response towards the Father was the opposite of Adam and Eve's response of hiding. Even while taking on our sin and having that sin consciousness telling him that the Father had abandoned him and shouldn't be trusted, he did not give in. Battling with the same feeling of not being vulnerable with the Father, Christ still said "Into your hands, I commend my spirit."
Instead of hiding, instead of not wanting to expose himself to the Father despite sin telling him that he was abandoned by the Father, Christ still chose to trust Him and offer himself into His hands.
I believe there is a lot to take note of in these responses and can be helpful in seeing what the old nature and new nature can look like in our own lives.
