The story of the Garden of Eden is one of the best-known Biblical stories. But, when we read the account, it is easy to focus on the portrayal of the first sin and punishment instead of the message of God’s original creation. This presentation will look at the significance of God’s creation of humans and the garden and how it reveals God’s purpose for humanity. Then we will be able to see that the failure in the garden is actually telling us about God’s will for our future.
