Lesson 5: The Birth of Mankind

Genesis teaches that man was created in the image and likeness of God: spiritual, creative, thinking, feeling, and able to communicate. The image was marred when Adam and Eve sinned. The rest of Scripture deals with how to restore sinful man with a Holy God. God created first Adam and then Eve, the woman, to be a “completer” for man. Marriage, man and woman united exclusively, is God’s perfect plan. As they grow closer to God, they grow closer to each other.
