Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God. However, through the first man’s (Adam’s) sin, man fell, and sin and death (spiritual and physical) came into the world. Sin has separated each one of us from God. Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Genesis 1:26-27, 3:6; Ephesians 1:7; Romans 5:12-19; Titus 3:5-7.
