CHARISM AND CHARACTER
CREATION; GOD’S INTENTION AND
THE FALL OF MAN
The primary reason why God created man is for the purpose of
experiencing a fellowship with Him which from the beginning of the world hath
been hid in God. Ephesians 3:9.
This fellowship is God’s hidden purpose of man’s creation right from
eternity which is to dispense Himself into man. This fellowship was hid in God
throughout the ages, but now, the new covenant believers are able to experience
it as we are being enlightened.
This same fellowship had been in existence within the Godhead
(Trinity); God the father, Son and the Holy Spirit. It was this fellowship
within the Godhead that gave birth to the divine idea of creating man. And man
was to;
(1) Carry or Contain God.
(2) Be filled with God’s presence.
(3) Express God, and
(4) Exercise God’s dominion on the
earth.
God had only shown a man a glimpse of this fellowship by coming to Adam
in the cool of the day. But Satan saw it and went mad and decided to cause the
fall of man. Now that Jesus has redeemed us from our fallen state, this
dominion as fellowship is now being restored upon the church, the body of
Christ. All the multifarious wisdom of God is now seen in and through the
church.
When Adam fell, the whole human race was damaged by sin and had no hope
in this world. We were alienated from God in every way. The whole creation was
in a condition of ruin and under Satan’s usurpation. The following happened when man
fell;
1) Man was created sinless, but capable of sin or transgression of the
law Gen2:16-17; 1Jn3:4.
2) Man was tempted by Satan through the serpent. Gen2:1-8; 2Cor11:1-3.
3) Eve was deceived to commit sin, Gen3:6; 1Tim2:14.
4) Sin came through a denial of divine will and the elevation of the
will of man over the will of God; Gen 2:16-17.
5) Sin came through unbelief of God’s word; Gen2:16-17; 3:4-6.
6) Sin came through rebellion against God’s word; Gen2:16-17; 3:1-8.
Effects of the fall; Man became
1) Separated from God; Is59:2
2) Depraved in nature; Eph2:1-3
3) Ignorant and blind; Eph4:18
4) Evil in conscience; Heb 10:22
5) Corrupt and deceitful in heart; Jer17:9; Mk7:19-21
6) Obstinate and rebellious; Acts7:51; Rom8:7; Isa28:14
7) Evil in thoughts; Gen6:5
8) Lustful and ungodly; Jn8:44; Rom7:5-23; 1Cor6:9; Gal5:19
9) Dominated by Satan; Jn8:34,44; Eph2:2; 1Jn3:8
10) Servants of sin; Jn8:34; Rom1:18-32; 6:16-23
11) Dead in sin; Eph2:1-9
12) Doomed to eternal hell without God or hope; Eph2:12; Rom6:23;
Ps6:17; Matt25:46: Rev14:9-11
13) Short of God’s glory; Rom3:23
14) Subject to suffering and death; Gen3:17-19; Rom6:21-23
15) Cursed of God to hard labour; Gen3:11-24
16) Mortal, imperfect and weak; Job4:17-21; Ps39:4-5; 103:14-15;
Matt6:27; Gal6:3
17) Universally sinful; Rom3:9-23
18) Sinners by birth and practices; Rom5:12-21; Eph2:1-3; Ps51:5
19) Children of the devil; Jn8:44; 1Jn3:8-10; 5:17; Matt13:38

earth; Ex15:26; Dt28:15-68; Rev21:3-7
