OriginsOur Goal {5}

As we gothrough this quarter,well see even more reasons why a

literal six-day creation is essential toall that we believe and

why to compromise on Creation is

to undermine the basis of thegospel and the teachings that make

us what we are.

Creation and MoralityKey Text

Genesis 2:16, 17 NIV

the man, You are free to eat fromany tree in the garden; but you

must not eat from the tree of the

knowledge of good and evil, forwhen you eat from it you will

certainly die.

Creation and MoralityInitial Words {55}

From the Magna Carta (1215)to the French Declaration of theRights of Man and of the Citizen

(1789) to various United Nationsdeclarations, the idea is promoted

that human beings possess certaininalienable rights.What are these rights? Why should

we have these rights anyway?

1. Morality and CreationDependent Creatures {56}

Genesis 2:7 depicts God as creatingAdam individually and represents

him to be an intelligent, moral being

rather than as an animal.Because we are always dependent

on our heavenly Father for life andits necessities, it is alwaysappropriate for us to accept Gods

guidance.


11/19

1. Morality and CreationOf One Blood {58}

In Genesis 2:23, Adam is given thetask of naming his wife, whom he

called Havah.

The Hebrew word for Eve (Havah)can be translated as life-giver.

Eves name represents the fact thatshe is the ancestor of all humans.We are all one family in the most

literal sense


12/19

1. Morality and CreationOf One Blood {58}

We are united in that we alldescended from one woman, Eve,

and from one man, Adam.And God is the Father of us all.

This fact is the basis of human

equality.


13/19

Genesis 9:6 NKJV

Whoever sheds

mans blood, byman his bloodshall be shed; for

in the image ofGod He made

man.

Creation and Morality2. Morality and Gods Image


14/19

2. Morality and Gods ImageSpecial Attribute {57}

What exactly is the image of God1. Dominion over the other creatures.God has appointed to humans a

share of sovereignty.2. Expressed in relationship. As theGodhead is manifest in three Personsin relationship, the image of God inhumans is expressed in relationship

of male and female.


15/19

What is the Image of God?The Creators Character {59}

3. To resemble Him in character. Tobe like God is not the same thing asto aspire to be God.

In order for us to reflect Hischaracter, we must have a proper

understanding of what thatcharacter is.


16/19

Ecclesiastes 12:14 NKJV

For God will bring

every work intojudgment, includingevery secret thing,

whether it is good orwhether it is evil.

Creation and Morality3. Morality and Accountability


17/19

3. Morality and AccountabilityDay of Judgment{60}

Pauls sermon in Athens began withCreation and ended with judgment.The God who made the world and

everything in it has fixed a day onwhich He will judge the world.

To be endowed with morality impliesaccountability, and each of us will beheld responsible for our actions and

our words

18/19

3. Morality and AccountabilityDay of Judgment{60}

The Bible teaches that the justice solacking in this world will one day be

meted out by God Himself.

More so, the whole idea of judgmentimplies a moral order: why would

God judge, much less punish, if therewere no moral standards to whichpeople could be held?

19/19

Creation and MoralityFinal Words {61}

According to Scripture, Adam wasthe first man and was speciallycreated from the dust by God.

Our understanding of the origin ofmorality is founded in the origin of

Adam. Biblical concepts of moralityare, then, inseparable from biblicalconcepts of origins.
