Training Hour: The Creation and Fall of Man

III. THE CREATION AND FALL OF MAN

We believe that God created man, male and female, in His own image and in righteousness and holiness, though peccable, under His authority, but by voluntary transgression man fell from that holy and happy state, in consequence of which all mankind are now by nature sinners; being from birth utterly void of that righteousness required by the Law of God, positively inclined only to evil and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin, and without excuse or hope apart from the love and grace of God.

Genesis 1–3; Romans 3:9–19; 5:12–19; Ephesians 2:1–10
