Even though God wants to have a relationship with each man and woman, every person in history has rejected that relationship and embraced sin instead of God’s holy ways. Further, humanity has inherited a nature (from the first man, Adam) that is set against God. Because of this nature and our deeds, every man and woman is doomed to eternal separation from God. Further, absolutely nothing we do is sufficient to repair the relationship, so we must rely upon God to do so.
