Seventh-Day Adventist's Fundamental Beliefs
7. The Nature of Man
Man and woman were made in the image of God with
individuality, the power and freedom to think and to do. Though
created free beings, each is an indivisible unity of body, mind,
and spirit, dependent upon God for life and breath and all else.
When our first parents disobeyed God, they denied their dependence
upon Him and fell from their high position under God. The image
of God in them was marred and they became subject to death. Their
descendants share this fallen nature and its consequences. They
are born with weaknesses and tendencies to evil. But God in Christ
reconciled the world to Himself and by His Spirit restores in
penitent mortals the image of their Maker. Created for the glory
of God, they are called to love Him and one another, and to care
for their environment.
