Listen "Creation and Fall of Man"

Episode Synopsis

The sermon presents a foundational biblical understanding of humanity's origin and fallen state, emphasizing that humans were uniquely created in God's image—endowed with rationality, morality, volition, self-awareness, verbal communication, spirituality, and creativity—making them the crown of creation and entrusted with dominion over the earth. This divine design was shattered by Adam's sin in the Garden of Eden, which introduced guilt, shame, fear, and spiritual death, resulting in a fallen human nature marked by rebellion, enslavement to sin, spiritual blindness, and separation from God, a condition inherited by all humanity. The consequences of this fall extend beyond individuals to the entire created order, which now groans under the weight of futility and awaits redemption. The only remedy is the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, who perfectly embodies God's uncorrupted image and offers restoration to the divine likeness through salvation, enabling believers to be renewed in true holiness and righteousness.
