Episode notes
Image And Likeness Means Sonship
- Made in the 'image and likeness' primarily denotes sonship: God as Father making man a son.
- Salvation history becomes the story of restoring that intended sonship lost at the Fall.
The First Gospel Frames The Whole Story
- Genesis 3:15 (the Protoevangelium) frames salvation history as a cosmic battle: the seed of the woman will defeat the serpent.
- From that promise, the entire Bible narrates a war over humanity between God and the devil.
The Robe Of Glory And Its Loss
- Adam and Eve originally wore a 'robe of glory' (grace) making them partakers of divine life, not physical clothing.
- The Fall removed that robe and replaced it with animal skins, symbolizing loss of divine sonship.
