The Original Plan
In the beginning, God created the world and people out of , not out of need or loneliness. He made humans to be companions — beings who could know Him, enjoy His presence, and freely choose to love Him back.
God placed the first humans in the Garden of Eden, a safe and beautiful home where everything they needed was provided and life was meant to flourish. The heart of God's plan was relationship: close, personal, and lasting, like a loving parent who delights in time with their children.

The Division
God wanted genuine love, so He gave people — the ability to choose. That freedom made love real, but it also allowed for the possibility of choosing to turn away and to disobey God.
When the first humans ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they broke the one rule of trusting in God, that He, and everything He represents, is all we need to live a full and abundant life.
