To truly understand what it means to be human, we must begin with Genesis 1 and 2, where humanity is created in God's image. Starting with creation gives us a fuller picture of who we were meant to be. This, in turn, helps us grasp the tragedy of the Fall and the purpose of sanctification through Christ—beginning with His incarnation and continuing until His return.

We can see two flawed views of humanity: Rejecting the physical as inherently bad, and overindulging in the physical (hedonism), assuming there’s nothing after this life. Both extremes lead to distorted worldviews. Instead, the Christian worldview offers a balanced vision: humans are both physical and spiritual, made in God's image, and called to reflect His design in both body and soul.
