I. Need To Know

A. Our Creation

"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,
and let him rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the
livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that
move along the ground.' So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
(Genesis 1:26,27, pg. 1)

"the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became
a living being." (Genesis 2:7, pg. 2)

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made. . . " (Psalm 139:13,14, pg. 531)

B. Our Condition

"And the Lord God commanded the man, 'You are free to eat from
any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.'" (Genesis 2:16,17, pg. 2)

"when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food
and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom,
she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband,
who was with her, and he ate it." (Genesis 3:6, pg. 3)

"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,
and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men,
because all sinned. . . " (Romans 5:12, pg. 953)

"Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me." (Psalm 51:5, pg. 483)

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23, pg. 951)
