Mankind
We believe that man was created to fellowship
with,
worship and glorify God, but Adam’s sin resulted in a severing of that
relationship, resulting in spiritual death. As a result of this “fall”,
all of
mankind is lost (alienated from God and devoid of His divine nature).
Only by
faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ can the
lost sinner
receive forgiveness of sins and be brought to salvation, (a renewing of
the
relationship between God and man), which also results in our becoming
“partakers of the divine nature”.
