## Resource

The Fall of Man is not just a historical event, but a disruption of the relational harmony between God, humanity, and nature. This sermon explores how the brokenness of Eden is being systematically undone through the redemptive work of Christ.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Eden was a state of relational harmony, not merely a physical location
- Failure mode: Attempting to fix the world through external changes rather than addressing the broken human heart
- Theological pivot: The cross acts as the 'undoer' of the brokenness introduced by sin
- Practical takeaway: True restoration begins with personal reconciliation with God through faith
- Core promise: God's ultimate intention is to bring all things to a new, perfected Eden
