Indeed, God desires to be in relationship with us in this life and in eternity ("heaven"). However, God cannot be blamed for sin, because sinning is a voluntary, willful choice (Romans 3:23). When we sin, we exercise the FREEDOM God gives us. God does not want to force us into any relationship. He wants us to love him freely, so he created us with free-will. Part of having free-will is the ability to sin (i.e. failure to conform to the moral law of God in act, attitude or nature). At its core, sin is turning away from God in rebellion and choosing to live contrary to God's plan.
This is the reason Jesus came (John 3:16-17): To save us from sin and pay the penalty sinners rightly deserve. Jesus died in our place; for our sin (1 John 2:2). Because God's wrath for sin was applied to Jesus on the cross, we can enter into a relationship with God if we confess our sin and trust in Jesus (1 John 1:9)
