Changed in His Presence - Sam Hinn

Fellowship With God
Adam and Eve lost their purpose when they
lost their fellowship with God. After the man
and the woman sinned against God, they found
themselves naked and full of shame.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God
walking in the garden in the cool of the day:
and Adam and his wife hid themselves from
the presence of the Lord God amongst the
trees of the garden. And the Lord God called
unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art
thou? (Gen. 3:8-9, KJV).
God returned to speak with Adam as though
He did not know about their sin. "Adam, where
are you?" It wasn't as though God did not know
what had taken place, but He was seeking Adam
because their fellowship was broken.
Adam had lost his very reason for existence—
to enjoy communion with God. Because of this,
God sent Jesus to die for us. Yes, He came to
save us from our sin, but the ultimate purpose
for saving us from sin was to restore our
communion with God.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Today your fellowship with God can be
restored, as you simply ask God to forgive you. It
is that simple. Just confess your sins to Him and
He will touch your heart with His love and
forgive your every sin. Once He has forgiven you,
respond to Him in worship for everything He has
done for you.
