Sin

God created a perfect world without sin. Sin entered the world through Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God’s command not to eat from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The sin of Adam and Eve brought the curse of sin into the world and all of creation is destined to die. This rebellion against God was the first “sin” which was the cause of death and decay entering all of of creation. We believe that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. There is no person who is deserving of going to heaven on their own merit. The original sin was mankind wanting to be God. Adam and Eve wanted to know good and evil as God did. They wanted to be in control of their lives.
