The Bible is focused on the relationship between God and humanity. From the very beginning pages, we see God’s creation of human beings as the pinnacle of His physical creation for the purpose of developing a relationship with them. Humankind was created “in the image of God” (Genesis 1:27), meaning that we were created in the general form and appearance of God and with a limited amount of His thinking abilities. Genesis 2 describes God’s relationship with the first human beings (Adam and Eve) in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve Unfortunately, that relationship was broken. Not by God, but by Adam and Eve, who chose to sever that relationship through rejecting God’s leadership and guidance (read more about their decision in “The Tree of Life”). The Bible calls man’s deviation from God’s leadership sin. Sin is breaking the law that God gave humans to guide them in how to live (1 John 3:4). Sin separated humans from God. lifehopeandtruth/life/what-is-the-meaning-of-life/the-tree-of-life/
