GOD'S plan to save you From the first chapters of Genesis through the closing scenes in Revelation, the Bible is the book of GOD'S salvation. From start to finish, its one unifying theme is that of grace and forgiveness for sinners through GOD'S redeeming work in Jesus Christ. Whatever else you gain through the reading of the Bible, it would be tragic if you missed the heart of it's message for you-GOD'S gracious provision of Jesus Christ as the atonement for sin. In the beginning When GOD created the heavens and the earth, HIS work was perfect and pure. GOD looked upon all HE had created and judged it to be "very good" Genesis1:31. He took great pleasure in what He made, and the culmination of HIS came with Adam and Eve.They were made in the very image of GOD, which made them capable of having fellowship with GOD and bringing glory to HIS name. Genesis1:27 In the Garden of Eden, however, through deception and disobedience Adam and Eve sinned against GOD, causing a break in their relationship with Him. Sin real, and sin is deadly. The guilt that resulted from their disobedience caused Adam and Eve to hide from GOD and to attempt to cover their personal shame. Because they disobeyed GOD'S command, they were now flawed and shameful in GOD'S presence. Adam deliberately chose a path of self-will and rebellion,which brought sin and death- spiritual death -into the world "...sin came into the world through one man , and death through sin,and so death spread to all men because all sinned" (Roman 5:12)-the whole human race is affected by Adam's sin.
