The very first sin ever, was by Satan when he wanted to be The GOD. That sin brought the idea of death, since Satan has the power of death (Hebrews 2:14-15). This is why Lord Jesus was ordained to be born of flesh woman and die on the cross, and being resurrected, conquering death for us. This is why in Revelation 21, death will be no more in God's future Eternity.
Do you then understand why wanting to be GOD in His place is a sin against Him?
Isa 14:12-17
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High."
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
KJV
