The AG Fundamental Truth 4

Center Point Assembly

Sunday, May 4, 2025 – We are in the second week of our study on the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God, focusing today on our 4th Fundamental Tenet: “The Fall of Man.” We spend the entire message discussing something as basic as the fall of mankind because unless we recognize from what we are saved, we cannot truly appreciate what we are saved from. Before man can fall from the grace of God, mankind must first be created. Sometimes we forget how grand our creation was. God had a plan for all of mankind when He formed man from the dust and breathed His eternal breath into that lump of clay. That plan was a plan of perfection and eternal relationship with Himself. God’s pattern for mankind was His own image. Have you ever considered what it means to be created in the image of God? When we fathom what that means, it gives us a whole new perspective on our purpose for living and how we should strive to live. Here’s the amazing part: even after mankind sinned and fell away from God’s grace and relationship, He had a plan to redeem. We will spend our next time discussing the fifth tenet of our faith, “The Salvation of Man,” but first we need to appreciate how much God loves us unconditionally, even after mankind fell. Worship and study along with us and appreciate God’s love.
