Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church

Psalms 8:1-9 CSB
EHBC’s Statement of Belief, Article 6: Man
Man is the special creation of God, in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. …By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. … The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore every person of every race possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
Today's Points:
1) All human beings bear the image of God.
A) Our natures
B) Our actions
C) Our relationships
2) (Nearly) All human beings are radically fallen.
A) Our physical bodies
B) Our minds
C) Our hearts
D) Our spirits
3) Only in Jesus can human fallenness be corrected.
A) Restoration of our bodies
B) Restoration of our minds
C) Restoration of our hearts
D) Restoration of our spirits
