The Fall Of Man

While warped, God’s image is still discernible. God’s image distorted but not completely lost. How about man’s original sin caused by his fall? How does that impact the divine image that exists in every person? Although they are now sinners, are people still made in God’s image? The reason a murderer should be put to death, according to Genesis 9:6, is because the object of the murder another person is made in God’s likeness. Men in general not just Christians are said to be created in the image of God, according to James 3:9. Despite being disfigured as a result of the Fall into sin, man nonetheless bears the image of God.

Therefore, if Adam and Eve’s communal lifestyle, sense of reason, and inventiveness were all characteristics of being made in the image of God, Loved God, one another, and took care of the land as stewards, but after the Fall, each of these qualities was diminished and twisted. Adam and Eve were once the greatest examples of God’s love, but after the Fall they ceased to be such. They had ruined their friendship with one another. They could no longer reason as logically as they previously did because their brains had fallen. Their imagination was limited. They started mistreating and exploiting the land instead of caring for it as they ought do. We are all born sinners, thus what was accurate of Adam and Eve after the Fall is obviously true of all of us now.
