What We Are

I'm preaching out of Mark 12:28-31 this week and focusing on "Loving Your Neighbor." In my limited time to prepare, I managed to jot down a few things the Bible says about humans. Certainly not complete, but a good foundation.

What Are Humans?
-Created in the Image of Triune God by Triune God (Gen. 1:24-27)
-Created for that God’s glory (Is. 43:6-7)
-Fallen from God, incomplete without God, unrighteous (Gen. 3, Ps. 14, Rom. 3:9-20)
-Rebellious to God (Rom. 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-3)
-Loved and sought after by the God who created them (Hos. 2:14-23, Jn. 3:16)

Just in the Biblical picture of humanity, we see the gospel.
