Man

Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is part of God's good creation. By free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship.

God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
— Genesis 1:27 (WEB)

Note

The 2000 revision strengthened language on the goodness of male and female as God's design, against cultural drift.
