the bridge to life
TRANSCRIPT
People ask the Question; Where is God when I need Him?
They feel that God is far away when they need Him
In the beginning it wasn’t like that.
Man was created to walk with God. And he did until the
day he turned his back on God.
Adam ate from the tree that God told him not to eat from.
Gen. 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.
Death doesn’t mean to cease to exist but to be separated
from God… He is the giver of life..
Adam chose to eat from the tree that day and became
separated from God.
Rom. 5:12 As by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all
have sinned.
We know that death is in the world because we can all feel
the effects of it…
This was the beginning of all man’s problems…
The Bridge
In the beginning, God and Man were friends
