Since the rebellion of the first man, man lost two things, &#8211; He lost relationship with God and he lost his purpose of existence.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">God created us in His own image for fellowship, but because of sin, that relationship was broken. This is the reason why Jesus came to the earth, &#8211; to restore man back to God in fellowship and to his original purpose. Relationship is the heart of the gospel and of the Christian life.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This is the

God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;\u00a0 <sup>19<\/sup> To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.\u00a0 <sup>20<\/sup> Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we
