Introduction

Now that we know some key aspects of our Creator, we proceed to that which God has created. In this module, we will explore both the goodness of God’s creation as well as how it has come to be corrupted by sin. God created the universe out of nothing as an act of sheer grace. Everything God created was good. However, the creation is also mutable, and Adam and Eve were created mutable. Evil is the corruption of the original goodness.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Describe the goodness of the creation as God made it.
• Identify the created place of humanity within the created order.
• Explain how Sin and death entered into the world through the sinful choices of Satan, Adam, and Eve.
