The Fall was essentially humans joining the rebellion of the Devil against divine order. The whole thing was one big lie; Satan was tempting us to become our own gods, which isn't possible. We don't have the authority to change anything that matters. Thus, we found ourselves in a hostile world outside of the Garden, one in which we cannot in any wise control what matters.
Humans only imagine that they can choose their destiny in this world, and can make it happen. Yet, that's the basic premise of mortal existence. This world is a big lie. It will be destroyed, wiped clean when Christ returns. Nothing humans do outside of the Covenant will ever matter.
Human ambition is inherently wicked. The mere whiff of plans to do big things brings all sorts of evil. No good thing can come from it. Scripture says that when you consider all things based on divine revelation, you will conclude that your own hope in this life is to simply seek peace with God on whatever terms He offers. You should expect to work for your bread and love others who seek His peace. If you need a dream, then excel in your part at building a multi-generational habit of life that seeks His face.
That's the foundation of what we believe.
