When Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden them to, it disconnected humankind from our natural connection with God, created disunity among our body, mind and spirit, and left us with a fallen nature.  Drawing then on our own understanding left a vacuum of unmet, or dysfunctionally met, needs, pain and brokenness, in the world, and an inability to save ourselves from sin and death. No one is exempt from the consequences of sin. Those needs and longings, a renewed mind, body, spirit, and salvation from sin, can only be fulfilled through a relationship with Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit.   

God had a plan for the redemption of sin.  He sent His Son, born into this world of a virgin, to do what we could not do for ourselves and atone for our sin. Jesus only, being both fully God and fully man, could fulfill the payment for sin and overcome death. He was put to death, rose from the dead, resides now in heaven and will return again. Eternal Life is freely offered and those who confess their sins and believe in Him as their Lord and Savior, are shown mercy and forgiveness forever.  His redeeming power gives birth to new life within us.
