Other than service man was created in direct communion with God because that’s the structure we see in Genesis.

Mankind was made to also function in reliance on his creator. At the basic level, mankind was made to be in perfect communion with God. You can call Eden a perfect picture of God’s idea for mankind.

The connection to God, the service, and the worship of God. Not just that but also in obedience to God.

The sole purpose of the created man is to serve God and do the will of God. It’s obedience and consecration to God. This was never a struggle for man, it was an effortless activity.
