God planned, before the world was created, to make it possible for men to be saved. There are a lot of reasons why he wants us to be rescued from the devil’s efforts to destroy us through our own bad choices. One of those reasons is the terrible result of disobedience. • Because of sin, we lose our special relationship with God as the highest of his creation — the only one he intended to live with him eternally. • Because of sin, men are forced to live in a “fallen world,” where evil not only exists but makes our existence here what many describe as hell on earth.
