The Book of Genesis designated the eating of the forbidden fruit of the tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden as the reason for the fall of man from where we acquire the tendency to sin. Prompted by pride and the inordinate desire to be his own god, Adam the first man committed the original sin of disobedience and brought upon the whole humankind separation from a loving Creator. At a time He considered appropriate for the redemption of man, God the Father sent His only begotten Son who in obedience to the Father's will, took flesh and died on the cross to destroy death, the consequence of sin and to restore all of creation to a righteous relationship with the Father.
