Creation & The Fall
We believe that God created ex-nihilo and formed the universe in six days as described in Genesis chapter one. We believe that humanity was created in the image and likeness of God, but through Adam’s sin became alienated from God, acquired a sin nature, and came under the Law and the penalty of death. We believe that in addition to humankind, God created intelligent spirits endowed with free will known as angels. Some of those angels rebelled against God and formed an active opposition to God’s purposes. The chief of these adversaries of God and the human race is called, variously, Satan, Lucifer, and the Devil.
