God created humans perfectly holy and happy.. Man was endowed with noble abilities and was mentally balanced. As a perfect being, he lived in harmony with God. He had pure thoughts and holy intentions. Man lived in paradise, in the region east of Eden, where God himself settled him. So a person comes into the world internally calm. He feels no guilt and does not even know what guilt is, what sin is. Disobedience reversed these facts, and love was replaced by selfishness, peace by restlessness, everything positive by everything negative. People noticed that they were naked. They wanted to hide from the Lord God, but it is impossible to hide from him. There is only one thing that applies before the Lord God: acknowledging guilt, repenting of our transgression, and correcting what we have corrupted, as the first people did.
By transgressing the law, the nature of man became so weak that he could no longer resist the power of evil by his own power. He became a slave to the evil spirit, which interferes with the process of a man’s physical and psychological development. But not only to development, but to the whole life, to its actions, as well as to rest. Man has become a slave to the evil spirit. Understandably, the slave will see what happened to him very quickly.
The first transgression against God’s law worries a person, just as it happened to the first parents, when, after transgressing the prohibition, they noticed that they were naked, restlessness entered them. It is the same with a person, as soon as he understands with his mind that he has done something that he should not have done, restlessness enters his conscience and pursues him until he corrects his mistake. There is no other way to restore inner peace. Conscience will not leave any man alone until he corrects an error that cannot be so hidden that it does not come to light, and the culprit is not punished.
God, in his love for his creation, established for man the possibility of correcting a mistake and regaining his lost inner peace. God is not asking for some horrible acts of correction. He only wants the renewal of man’s love for him, the removal of what separated him from God, what caused him restlessness in his soul, to turn away from evil, to recognize his guilt and correct it. Here, too, God is more proactive than man. He is the first to call a person, and if a person longs for true inner peace, he follows the voice of the Lord.
