IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE THIS WAY
Our world is broken. We see evidence of this around us every day, in our communities, in the news headlines, and in our own hearts. As human beings, our natural inclination is toward selfishness. Sometimes it’s easy for us to point out the selfishness we see in others. But if we’re honest, we can also see it in ourselves. We hurt others and we reject God in our quest for self-sufficiency.
It wasn’t meant to be this way. Wars, addictions, poverty, abuse,
loneliness, greed, suffering . . . these painful circumstances are symptoms of a deeper problem plaguing each human heart. Fundamentally, every person is estranged from the God of the universe, a loving Creator who desires to have an intimate relationship with each one of us. In those quiet moments, we might feel the emptiness in our hearts and the indescribable longing to be truly loved and truly known. We often try to fill this void with all kinds of behaviors and relationships. Some are healthy and some are harmful. But none of them can fully and truly fill the empty space.
BUT THERE IS HOPE FOR HUMANITY. THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU. . . .
ANCIENT WISDOM
The history of humanity’s isolation from God, as well as the solution to the problem, can be found in the pages of the Bible. Far and away the bestselling book of all time, the Bible contains a mixture of history, poetry, allegory, and other types of literature. Theologians and scholars will tell you that the Bible represents the words of God Himself, as com- municated to human writers in the ancient world—yet it remains time- less and relevant to us today. It is a trustworthy and reliable docu- ment that not only outlines the story of humankind’s alienation from God, but also outlines His plan for bringing humans back into an intimate relationship with their Creator and Heavenly Father— TRULY, COMING HOME.
THE PROBLEM
The Bible tells us that at the beginning of recorded history, humans enjoyed a perfect, intimate relationship with God, the Creator of the universe who is perfectly just, loving, and holy. This is commonly known as the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. But that beautiful relationship was broken when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God. This act of rebellion was called sin. Adam and Eve’s sin not only fractured their own relationship with their loving Creator, it also ensured that all human beings, from that point forward, would be impacted by the stain of sin. Today, we can see proof of this all around us. All the pain we see in the world, all the loneliness and isolation, all the injustice, is ultimately tied to the sin and rebellion that exist within every human heart. Even things like disease and natural disasters, which lie beyond the scope of human choice, are evidence that our world is desperately disordered.
The Bible says, “We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now” (Romans 8:22).
Why does our sin separate us from God? Because He is perfect and blameless. The Bible says, “His work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he” (Deuteronomy 32:4).
No matter how humble, respectable, and “good” we might think we are, we cannot have an intimate relationship with God on our own because His standard is perfection.
