Episode notes

A lot of people say, especially when they're talking about saving the planet, that humanity is the problem. It's not the opposite in popular movies all the time. And of course, the Bible also says that. The whole creation is led, as I mentioned from Romans 8 into bondage, but it's also through a man that the creation is subjected to the true king. "I'm God incarnate and I'm washing your feet, taking the position that a slave by law was exempted from," Jesus told his disciples.

In the beginning, God spoke the world into existence. He made man and woman the crown of his creation, image-bearers of the Almighty God. Humans have a special place in God’s created order. But as we know, it didn’t take long for sin to enter the world, corrupting this image and changing our relationship to our Creator. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider our true nature as those created by God and why it’s important for us to understand our origin story.
