Mankind
to place doubt in their minds as to whether God was really good. Eve was
asked the most
important question of all time. Her answer would have a vital effect on the
entire human race
for the rest of all our lives. When Adam and Eve chose to sin (by eating from
the tree), rather
than to obey God, we say that the fell. The Fall plunged the entire
creation into the
bondage of sin.
Because of Adam & Eves disobedience, man was to suffer both physical pain
& death. However,
God provided a plan of redemption through His son, Jesus Christ.
Salvation brings new life & change into a sinners heart and life. Reform
(change) is an outward attempt to stop bad life patterns. But salvation through a
personal experience with Jesus Christ begins the change within a person. It begins
at the root of the problem, mans heart.
Salvation involves a renewal of our minds. Genuine salvation produces good
fruit, behaviors & actions.
The Mission of Mankind
Original MissionMans first mission was to tend (work & take care of) the
Garden of Eden, to enjoy the fruits of his labor, & to live in a world of total peace.
They were also to Be fruitful, and multiply [to have children], and replenish the
earth, and subdue it: and have dominion (authority, control) over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the
earth. God also gives mankind His charge to be good stewards of the resources
and blessings He has given.

The direct result cost Adam & Eve (and us today) their (our) peace & harmony with
nature and enjoyment of perfect health in the absence of pain. Now, the earth is
under a curse and the body experiences pain & eventual death.
