In the beginning, man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice, man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan, man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence; whereby all men inherited a sinful nature and an environment inclined toward sin, and as soon as they are capable of moral action become transgressors and are under condemnation. Only the grace of God can bring a man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore every man possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.<br \/><br \/>Genesis 2:7,15-25; James 3:9; John 3:36; Romans 3:23, 6:23; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Ephesians 2:1-3; 1 John 1:8<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d3d877 e-con-full elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8d3d877\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5136d1b elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5136d1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northsideonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/northside-church-man.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-852\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.northsideonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/northside-church-man.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.northsideonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/northside-church-man-274x300.png 274w, https:\/\/www.northsideonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/northside-church-man-934x1024.png 934w, https:\/\/www.northsideonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/northside-church-man-768x842.png 768w, https:\/\/www.northsideonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/northside-church-man-593x650.png 593w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47a433d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"47a433d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd288d4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cd288d4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fee028e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fee028e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4011b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f4011b8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82bfeb1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"82bfeb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Salvation<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d9ef47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d9ef47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.
