The teachings about who man is before God is so very important. These teachings are constantly being denied or twisted, even in churches. We must understand who we are before God if we are going to find solutions for life’s problems. The basis for dignity and value; the basis for gender, sexuality, and marriage; the basis of the evil we see in the world; the need for an external solution… All these truths come from a right understanding of who we are, who God made us to be.
