Humans and Sin

Created in the image of God.

We affirm that God, in His divine image, created man (Genesis 1:26, 27; Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10). This creation, endowed with true knowledge of God, true righteousness and holiness, and a profound understanding of nature (Genesis 2:19–23), is a testament to His divine power. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were brought into being by God, as we read in the historical account of Genesis 1–3.
