When God created the world, He formed man and woman to live in His presence and feel His joy. That was His plan. But we didn’t believe Him and disobeyed His command. This shameful act separated us from God, marred the close relationship between man and woman, and people’s relationship with the creation.

    We too have continued this disobedience. The Bible says there is no one who does not sin. The result of this sin is death, and separation from God.

    But God did not want us to remain cut off from Him and His love, living in shame and fear. So, just as God provided a ram to die in place of Abraham’s son, God sent Jesus to die in our place.

    Jesus’ life, death and resurrection restores the relationship between God and all those who turn and follow Him.

    And this close relationship with Almighty God will not end, even though we die. Those who put their trust in Jesus will be forgiven, restored, and escape eternal punishment and live with God forever, as we follow Him through faith.
