V. MAN: his direct creation in the image of God (Gen 1:26-28), his subsequent fall into sin resulting in spiritual death (Gen 3:1-24; Rom 5:12), and the necessity of the new birth for his salvation (John 3:3-5).
[We believe in the recent, direct creation of the heavens, the earth, and all their hosts, without pre-existing material, in six literal 24-hour days (Gen
1:1-2,25; Exodus 20:11; John 1:3; Col 1:16; Heb 11:3).
We believe in the sanctity of human life (Gen 9:6; Ps 139:13-16) and in the distinct function of men and woman in the home and the church (Eph 5:22-33; 1 Tim 2:8-15).]
1.
Our Origin
Origin Story
1.
What is man’s {origin} ?
Gen. 1:26-28
a. Man was created {directly} by God on the {sixth} day of creation.
{Gen.
1:26 “make man”; 1:27 “God created man”; sixth day = 1:23 cf 1:31}
b.
Man was created in the {image} of God.
What does ‘in His image and likeness’
mean?
i.
It does not mean {equal} .
ii.
It does entail the following: We reflect and represent God’s...
(1) {Personhood} {like God we have intellect, emotions, and will}
(2) Ability to have {relationships} {like the Triune Godhead, we are relational beings}
(3) Ability to be {creative} {procreation (1:28 ‘multiply’); imagination
(2:19-20, Adam named the animals)}
(4) Ability to {rule} {we exercise dominion (1:28-30; cf Psa 8:5-8)} (5) {Physical} {form} {Col.
1:15-17}
iii.
Man is unique, for neither {animals} nor {angels} bear God’s image and likeness.
c.
Man was created as a {physical} and {spiritual} being: Gen. 2:7
{man is comprised of two basic parts: body and soul/spirit} Conclusion: We believe in man’s direct creation in the image of God.
There are two {opposing} teachings regarding the origin of man and the universe.
a.
One teaching is the theory of evolution: {Over billions of years man has developed through stages of a single cell organism evolving into present day man.
This theory is dependant upon time and chance.
The “big bang” is the origin of the universe.}
b.
The other teaching is the doctrine of creationism: {This is the belief that the Creator God is the best explanation of the origin of the universe.
This is the Biblical view}
Genesis 1:1-2
Gen. 1:1-2,25 {God is credited with bringing into existence heaven and earth (in that order).
This act of creation is recent (approx.
6,000 years ago), direct (God spoke and it happened (cf Psa 33:6), and without any pre-existing
matter.
It is a miracle work of God.
It was a six day creation (Gen 1:25) }
Exodus 20:11 {This passage clearly interprets the length of days during the creation as being 24 hours each.
God could have created everything instantaneously in a moment of time, but used 6 days followed by a rest day to give man a pattern for his work week.
We are built for rest.}
John 1:3 {Jesus is identified as the Creator God.
All matter and material came into existence through Him.
Since Jesus was already existing in the beginning (v1, and since everything created was made by Him, then He cannot be a created being (as the Jehovah witnesses claim).}
Col. 1:16 {“first-born” indicates the place of privilege and honor.
He is heir to the entire universe.
Allphysical things and spiritual beings (angels) came into being by Christ’s creative work.}
Heb.
11:3 {this describes ex-nihilo creation (‘out of nothing’); this must be accepted by faith}
Conclusion: We believe in the recent, direct creation of the heavens, the earth, and all their hosts, without pre-existing material, in six literal 24-hour days
2. Our Problem
The reality of {sin} has entered the human race.
a.
The Biblical account of the {fall} of man: Gen. 3:1-24
i.
A partial definition for sin: 1 John 3:4
ii.
A complete definition of sin: “Any {lack} of conformity to the moral character or desire (or nature or glory) of God.”
b.
The {effect} (imputation) of Adam’s sin on the human race: Romans 5:12
{“imputation” means attribute something to someone – he is our Federal Head}
c.
The {consequences} of Adam’s sin on all mankind.
i.
How does man's righteousness compare to God's?
Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:10
{our best works appear as filthy rags; there is none righteous}
ii.
What is the extent of sin as declared by Romans 3:23?
{it’s all encompassing}
Rom 6 23
iii.
What penalty for sin must be paid (Romans 6:23)?
{death}
Conclusion: We believe in man’s subsequent fall into sin resulting in spiritual death.
3. Our Value
Human life is {sacred} .
a. How does Gen. 9:6 teach the sanctity of human life?
{The basis for capital punishment is that man is an image bearer.
Fallen man still retains the image of God, though sin has greatly marred it (cf James 3:9).}
b.
How does Ps.
139:13-16 teach the sanctity of human life?
{God knits together the child in the womb.
In Psa 51:5 David admits he was a sinner at the moment of conception.
If he was a sinner at that point, then he was also a person.
Abortion is murder.}
Conclusion: We believe in the sanctity of human life.
4. Our Roles
6.
In the Bible God has graciously prescribed certain {roles} for men and women.
a.
What are the roles for a husband and a wife in the {family} ?
Eph.
5:22-33
{A husband is to lovingly lead his wife, sacrificing for her in the likeness of Christ who sacrificed Himself for the sake of the Church.
