OG Wk 4 | What Happened to the Creation (2:5-28), Part 1

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 21:23:46 GMT

What was lost in the Garden is the ability to experience WITHOUT struggle and pain. That was our choice. And it was Christ’s choice to walk it WITH us, to walk us through it, and to change us from the inside out as a result of it. And THAT is why it’s so important to understand what was in the beginning, and where things went wrong. So that pain can have purpose, so that suffering can help us understand what Christ went through on our behalf...it was the only way to usher back in the expression and experience that was intended in the Garden.
