Sin entered the world, and God’s very good creation was deeply fractured.

And it still is deeply fractured.

But thankfully, the story doesn’t end with our brokenness. There is redemption.

We were created good. We messed it up. But there is one thing we want to make clear. After the fall is not where God's love enters the story.

God's love was ALWAYS a part of the story. Since the creation of our earth and skies, God's love has been present.

We are the ones who walked away from it. We read about Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, but we are in that story, too. We walk away from God's love in search of power and knowledge.

We were lost and dead to sin and suffering, but then God does something miraculous and literally enters the world in human form to walk among us and be crucified to buy us back.
