Summary
Genesis 1–3 establishes that humans are designed in God's image and need him as their essential foundation for a full life. Through sin, humanity became disconnected from God, but Jesus Christ reconciles us to the Father, inviting us to walk with him daily rather than living as functional atheists.
Highlights
What are the essentials for human life? The Bible says that we were designed in a very specific way, and there are actually three things that are essential to a human life. And if we have them, then we have the foundation that you can build a life on.
Christianity is the only religion that tells us that there is a God who got off his throne, came down the mountain, and made his home with us.
We've been found by God, but since we grew up in a world without our father, we still live our lives often from the muscle memory of our past lives. We really are now part of the family of God, but it's really hard for us to stop living as orphans.
