The Bible is God's Redemptive Story
And it tells us that God created a perfect world with no sin, sickness, sadness, or suffering. In this world, God created the first people – Adam and Eve – to have a relationship with Him. In love, He gave them a choice whether they would choose to love Him in return or choose to disobey Him. Although He warned them of the punishment for disobedience, Adam and Eve chose to sin. This brought all of the heartache we experience (death, sickness, racism, hatred, murder) into the perfect world God created (Genesis 1-3). From Adam, we all inherited a sin nature (Romans 5:12). We have all chosen to disobey God’s perfect law, and our sin must be punished (Romans 6:23). But God still loves us. His mission is to rescue and restore a fallen planet back into fellowship with Him and then recreate it into a perfect world where we can live in sinless community with Him once again.
