Defying the Will of God?

I sang with the choir at the Ash Wednesday service last night. We were invited to write down a transgression and put it in a basket. The preacher spoke about how we needed to "restore" our relationships with God that were broken because we sought to live outsude of God's design.

I don't buy into the whole idea that mankind was once right with God and then screwed it up somehow by not getting with the program. God has established a relationship with mankind, and he has freed us from bondage to sin, and all this is according to His purposes. There is nothing to "restore", and it isn't even possible to live outside of God's design. God's will is not subject to resistance. It is always done.
