Creation and Purpose

The story of humanity begins not with accident or chance, but with divine intention. To be made in the image of God is to be stamped with eternal significance. In this first step of the great narrative, we discover that our lives are not random sparks in a cold universe, but reflections of a purposeful Creator. The dignity of mankind flows from the One who breathed life into us.

But with dignity comes responsibility. Humanity is called to steward creation, to reflect God's character in work and worship, and to live in harmony with Him and with one another. Before sin, before the fall, there was this radiant vision of life as it was meant to be. And if we are to understand redemption, we must first grasp what was lost. Creation reveals not only God's majesty but also our original calling - a calling that echoes still, even in our brokenness.
