God desires to dwell with us. He had created man the perfect environment to live in and spend daily fellowship with Him. Man, however, chose to break the conditions of living in the garden and chose to live in a not perfect living area. Man lost dwelling in daily contact with God when he chose to eat the fruit God had told him not to eat.
God didn’t leave mankind there He came and lived among man in the form of Jesus. He taught what God wanted men to live like and show His love and mercy towards man through His miracles. As Jesus, He was able identify with mankind in living life as man with them. It was Jesus death on the cross that bridged the gap between God and man.
Then after Jesus was raised from the dead, God came as the Holy Spirit which no longer rest on one person as in the Old Testament but to dwell within every believer. By being in the Bible and prayer daily the believer can be in daily fellowship God once again.
