CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />
loved him and wanted fellowship with him.<br />
On day one, God created the light and<br />
darkness; day two, the firmament and waters;<br />
day three, earth and vegetation. On the fourth<br />
day, the sun, moon and stars were set <strong>in</strong>to order.<br />
On day five, the fish and the fowl were created,<br />
and on the sixth day He made the animals and<br />
man. God created everyth<strong>in</strong>g for man that man<br />
might enjoy <strong>His</strong> creation.<br />
And God said, Let us make man <strong>in</strong> our<br />
image, after our likeness: and let them have<br />
dom<strong>in</strong>ion over the fish of the sea, and over the<br />
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over<br />
all the earth, and over every creep<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that creepeth upon the earth (Gen. 1:26, KJV).<br />
Th<strong>in</strong>k with me for a moment. God created<br />
man so He and mank<strong>in</strong>d would fellowship<br />
together. He made all that we read of <strong>in</strong> Genesis<br />
1 and 2 for this man. Man was given the whole<br />
earth to rule. He was s<strong>in</strong>less and lived <strong>in</strong> a<br />
perfect environment. From creat<strong>in</strong>g the earth to<br />
mak<strong>in</strong>g him a wife, God m<strong>in</strong>istered to the<br />
deepest needs of this man, all because He loved<br />
<strong>His</strong> creation and wanted fellowship with Him.<br />
I must understand my purpose of existence. I<br />
was not created for anyth<strong>in</strong>g less than fellowship<br />
with the liv<strong>in</strong>g God and to worship Him.<br />
Genesis 3 <strong>in</strong>troduces a catastrophic event.<br />
The man and the woman s<strong>in</strong> aga<strong>in</strong>st God, the<br />
very One who gave them such abundant life.<br />
What was really lost <strong>in</strong> the fall? Many th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
changed for mank<strong>in</strong>d, but the greatest loss was<br />
the fellowship between God and man that was<br />
broken for the first time.<br />
