Presentation transcript:

The Doctrine of Man I. How was man created from the hand of God? A. Man was created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26). 1. This image involves man as a three-fold being (I Th. 5:23).

a. Man has a spirit (Zech. 12:1; Job 32:8; I Cor. 2:11). This is the God conscience part of man. b. Man has a soul (Ezek. 18:4; Ps. 16:10; 19:7). This is the self conscience part of man and includes the mind, the will and the emotions. c. Man has a body (Rom. 12:1; Phil. 3:21). This is the world conscious part of man that relates through the five senses.

2. This image involves man as intelligent being (Col. 3:10). As an intelligent being he can think, learn and plan. 3. This image involves man as a moral being (Eph. 4:23-24). As a moral being he has a conscience and intuition that bear witness to right and wrong.

B. Man was created as a dependant being (Acts 17:24-28). C. Man was created to be inhabited (John 14:17; I Cor. 3:16-17). D. Man was created for love (I John 4:16- 19). E. Man was created as a free-will being (Gen. 3:6).

F. Man was created as a perfect and sinless being. The Bible speaks of three kinds of perfection. 1. Innocence or Untested Perfection. This is a perfect state of creation that is capable of sin, but it is as yet untested (Ezek. 28:15; Gen. 3:6-7; Eccl. 7:29).

2. Relative Perfection. This is a perfection of the heart or attitude when compared to the surrounding climate and cultural context of the time (Gen. 6:9; Job 1:1; I Kgs. 15:14). 3. Sinless Perfection. This is a state of tested perfection from which it is impossible to fall (Matt. 5:48; Tit. 1:2; Heb. 4:15).

II. Why did God create man? A. God created man because God is love (John 3:16; I John 4:16). 1. Because God is love, He had no desire to dwell alone. 2. Because God is love, He demanded an object upon which to bestow that love. 3. Because God is love, He desired relationship with other intelligent beings.

B. God has the true heart of a father (See Genesis 1:26-28). 1. As a true father He desired a man in His image. 2. As a true father He desired many offspring. 3. As a true father He desired to have relationship with His offspring.

4. As a true father He desired His offspring to come to full maturity. 5. As a true father He desired His offspring to come into full partnership with Him. 6. As a true father He desired to have a bride for His only begotten Son. C. Man was to be the object of God’s love and the fulfillment of His father’s heart.

III. How did man fall from this original state? A. Satan undermined the Word of God (Gen. 3:1-7). 1. Satan placed a question mark on God’s Word trying to get Eve to doubt when he said to her, “Has God said?” (Gen. 3:1; II Cor. 11:2-3).

2. Satan contradicted the Word of God forcing Eve to make a choice when he said, “You will not surely die” (Gen. 3:4). 3. Satan cast doubt on God’s intention and character in His dealings with man (Gen. 3:5). He implied that God was selfish and was withholding something that was good for man.

4. Satan deceived them by only telling them what they would gain, not what they would lose (the cost) in the process (Gen. 3:5).

B. Man was tempted in three areas of his being (I John 2:16). 1. Man was tempted in the area of the body—the lust of the flesh. Compare Jesus’ temptation to turn stones into bread (Luke 4:3). 2. He was tempted in the area of the soul—the lust of the eyes (Gen. 3:6). Compare Jesus’ temptation to receive all that He could see if he would bow to Satan (Luke 4:5).

3. He was tempted in the area of the spirit—the pride of life. Compare Jesus’ temptation to cast Himself down to be acknowledged as God by those who witnessed it (Luke 4:9). C. Man knowingly transgressed the law of God (I Tim. 2:13-14; I John 3:4).

IV. What were the effects of the fall? A. The conscience of man was activated (Gen. 3:7). B. Man recognized the need for covering (Gen. 3:7). C. Man was cut off from direct fellowship with God (Gen. 3:8, 24). D. Man became fearful of God’s presence (Gen. 3:8).

E. Man became a “self-justifier” and a “blame-shifter” (Gen. 3:11-14). F. Death passed upon all men (Rom. 5:12, 19). G. Man’s spirit and mind were darkened (Pro. 20:27; Eph. 4:17-18). H. Man’s physical body became susceptible to sickness, disease and death.

V. What is the condition of every man that is born into the world? A. Man is born in sin and, hence, is a sinner (Ps. 14:1-3; 51:5; Is. 53:6; Rom. 3:9-12; I John 1:8, 10). B. Man has absolutely no inclination toward God (Rom. 3:22-23; 7:17-20; John 3:19; Jer. 17:9).

C. Man has absolutely no understanding of the things of God (I Cor. 2:14). D. Man’s mind is defiled by sin and separation from God (Tit. 1:15; Col. 1:21; Rom. 8:7-8). E. Man is a slave to sin (Rom. 6:17; 7:5, 8, 14-15, 19, 23-24). F. Man is a child of wrath (Eph. 2:1-3).

G. Man is an enemy of God (Rom. 8:7-8). H. Man is dead in trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1). I. Man is on the road to eternal damnation (II Th. 1:8-9; John 15:6; Pro. 14:12).

VI. What happens to man in redemption? A. There is an impartation of life to the human spirit (Ps. 18:28; John 1:4-13; 8:12; Eph. 5:8; I Th. 5:4-5; I Pet. 2:9). B. There is a regeneration of our old spirit which was in darkness (John 3:1-8; Ezek. 36:25-28; Tit. 3:5; I Pet. 1:23; Col. 3:10).

C. When we receive Christ as Savior and Lord, He puts His Spirit within our spirit and our spirit becomes one with the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 6:17; John 1:12; Rom. 8:9). D. We receive the evidence that this has taken place by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit with our spirit (Gal. 4:6; Rom. 8:15-16; I John 5:10).

VII. What happens after the new birth? A. Our spirit still has a bent toward evil, so the Holy Spirit works continually, cleansing and renewing (II Cor. 7:1). B. The spirit of man is restored to a place of control over man.

Three Kinds of Individuals 1. The Natural Man. The natural man is the unregenerate man outside of Christ (I Cor. 2:14). Three Kinds of Individuals 1. The Natural Man. The natural man is the unregenerate man outside of Christ (I Cor. 2:14). 2. The Carnal Believer. The carnal believer is the regenerate man who chooses to follow the animal instincts and the lusts of the flesh (I Cor. 3:1-3).

3. The Spiritual Man. The spiritual man is the regenerated man who is ruled by, walking in and living according to the promptings of the Holy Spirit through the human spirit (Rom. 8:1-17).

C. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, that Spirit which is in us begins to work in relation to the rest of this three part being. 1. He breaks through the will of man. 2. He renews the conscience and mind of man. 3. His influence will one day sanctify the whole body (I Th. 5:23).

D. Man will ultimately be restored to the image of God (Rom. 8:29; II Cor. 3:18).

VIII. What is the ultimate destiny of man? A. Since man is created from the hand of God as a “spirit being”, once man is created he (the spirit part of man) will never cease to exist. B. All human beings will spend eternity in heaven with their maker or in hell with the devil and his angels (John 5:28-29; Rom. 2:5-9; II Th. 1:8-9; Matt. 13:41-43; 25:34-46).
