In Genesis 1 and 2, humanity is portrayed as bearing the image of God, created with identity, purpose, and intimate relationship with Him and each other. However, the narrative in Genesis 3 reveals how the serpent's deception introduced sin, shame, and separation from God, distorting humanity’s identity and trust in their Creator. Despite the fall, God's questions—“Where are you?” and “Who told you that?”—call us back to His truth, offering grace and restoration through Jesus Christ.
