In the beginning God spoke and created the heavens and the earth and all that there is including mankind. All that God created had purpose and value, all was good. Mankind, the man and the woman, were given the privilege of being created in the image of God with the ability to have relationship with God. But man rebelled against their creator unleashing on all of creation death and all evil. Rebellion, sin brings death. There are none who are good, none. All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. Man is incapable of paying the price for his sin and being reconciled to God, who is our very life.
