Changed in His Presence - Sam Hinn

CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE
loved him and wanted fellowship with him.
On day one, God created the light and
darkness; day two, the firmament and waters;
day three, earth and vegetation. On the fourth
day, the sun, moon and stars were set into order.
On day five, the fish and the fowl were created,
and on the sixth day He made the animals and
man. God created everything for man that man
might enjoy His creation.
And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth (Gen. 1:26, KJV).
Think with me for a moment. God created
man so He and mankind would fellowship
together. He made all that we read of in Genesis
1 and 2 for this man. Man was given the whole
earth to rule. He was sinless and lived in a
perfect environment. From creating the earth to
making him a wife, God ministered to the
deepest needs of this man, all because He loved
His creation and wanted fellowship with Him.
I must understand my purpose of existence. I
was not created for anything less than fellowship
with the living God and to worship Him.
Genesis 3 introduces a catastrophic event.
The man and the woman sin against God, the
very One who gave them such abundant life.
What was really lost in the fall? Many things
changed for mankind, but the greatest loss was
the fellowship between God and man that was
broken for the first time.
