3 CIRCLES: Brokenness

Sin is stepping outside of God's protective boundaries, revealing our lack of trust in His goodness. When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God in the Garden of Eden, they introduced sin into the world, which leads to shame and brokenness. Shame occurs when we see ourselves apart from God's love, while brokenness affects all of creation because we were made to be God's image bearers. We often try to fix our own brokenness, but this only makes things worse since we weren't designed to live apart from God. The good news is that God has a plan for restoration through the gospel, and He wants to heal us and restore us to His original design.
