We believe man was created in the image of God. God breathed His life into man; man voluntarily
rebelled against God and fell from a state of perfection, thereby experiencing separation from God;
consequently, all men are sinners. By choice, man is redeemable through Jesus Christ in his only hope
to experience the peace of God.
We believe Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female
as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation.
In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his
free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan,
man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence, whereby; his posterity inherits
a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. Therefore, as soon as they are capable of moral action,
they become transgressors and are under condemnation. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy
fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God.
