What We Believe

THE CREATION AND FALL OF MAN

We believe that man was created by a direct work of the Triune God and not from previously existing forms of life (Genesis 1:1-2, 26-27; 2:7); and that all men are descended from the historical Adam and Eve, the first parents of the entire human race; that man fell through sin (Genesis 2:17; 3:6); that, as a consequence of his sin, man lost his spiritual life and innocency, becoming dead in trespasses and sins (Genesis 6:5; Psalm 14:1-3; 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; John 3:6); that he became subject to the power of the devil; that this spiritual death, or total depravity of human nature, has been transmitted to the entire human race of man, the Man Christ Jesus alone being excepted; and that every child of Adam is born into the world with a nature which not only possesses no spark of divine life, but is essentially and unchangeably bad apart from divine grace and faith in Christ (Romans 3:10-19; 8:6-7; Ephesians 2:1-3, 810; 1 Timothy 5:6).
