How did we lose our connection with God?

In Genesis 2–3, we see the moment humanity chose to define good and evil apart from God. Doubt was sown into God’s Word, and obedience began to feel unreasonable. Instead of prayer or repentance, Adam and Eve chose self-covering.

“But your iniquities have separated you from your God.” — Isaiah 59:2

Sin is not simply seeking evil — it is seeking to define good on our own terms. It is the human heart saying, “I will decide what is best for me.”

In this message, we learned:

✨ Sin creates separation from the Source of life.
✨ Shame replaces joy when we redefine identity by performance.
✨ Our deepest desire is union with God.
✨ Healing requires honesty and responsibility.
✨ Christ is the path back home.

God has given us practical ways to restore connection:

• Prayer – Relationship grows through conversation.
• Scripture – The Word reorders our thinking and becomes our map back.
• Fasting – Drawing near to God in moments that shape our purpose.

Jesus humbled Himself so we could return to the Father (Philippians 2:6–8).

👉 Surrender your authority back to Him. Christ is the way back home.
