The Origin and Nature of Humans

The Origin of Humans

Adam was both formed from the dust of the earth and created out of nothing by God¹. Adam’s body was created out of the dust of the earth and his soul and spirit were created out of nothing². Adam was created; all other humans were procreated from Adam and Eve³. When Adam was created, he was created in the likeness and the image of God⁴. Adam was created complete and in the likeness of God immediately without process.

The Body, the Soul, and the Spirit

Humans are tri-partite⁵. They have a body, which is the physical flesh. They have a soul, which is the center of his emotions⁶. They also have  a spirit, which is the part of them that is able to rationalize⁷. The place where these three parts come together is referred to as the heart, which is where the determinate will of a human is formed⁸.

The Present Condition of Unsaved Humans

All humans possess a sin nature and are totally depraved⁹. All unsaved are spiritually separated from God, because of Adam’s trespass and sin. They all physically die because of Adam’s sin¹⁰. They are not able to receive the things from the Spirit of God because their minds have been darkened¹¹. The Gospel for salvation is foolishness to them and their minds have been darkened to this Gospel¹².

The Present Condition of Saved Humans

Saved humans still possess a fallen nature. However, they also possess a new nature, which is a quality of the Divine Nature

God the Father

This Person of the Godhead is revealed to us as the one that is the ultimate source of all things; all things are out from the Father.¹

God the Father’s Fatherhood Relationship

God the Father’s fatherhood relationship to God the Son shows that they are equal in nature while the Son can be voluntarily submissive to the Father in carrying out the decree². This Person of the Godhead displays the fatherhood type of relationship that He has to spirit beings as well as saved and unsaved mankind ³. The Fatherhood relationship shows that God is the source of all things.

His Past and Present Work

He sent the Son to be a propitiation (satisfaction) for the sins of the world
