1. Man is a creation of God (Genesis 1:27).  Man was created in the Garden of Eden on the sixth creation day and was not the product of evolution. 

2. Man has a triune personhood (this teaching is known as Trichotomy, 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12). 

a) Man has a soul.  "And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived" (1 Kings 17:22). 

b) Man has a spirit.  "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7). 

c) Man has a body.  The body is that part of man, which houses the immaterial parts. 

The Scriptures clearly testify to a distinction between the spirit and the soul of man (Hebrews 4:12).  However, it should be noted that the words can be used interchangeably at times.

4. Man was created for the purpose of having fellowship with God. This fellowship was broken because of man's sin (Isaiah 59:2).  The Bible teaches that man was created without sin (Genesis 1:31).  However, due to man's disobedience in the garden he obtained a sin nature (Romans 5:12). 

5. All unsaved men are spiritually dead regarding relationship towards God (Ephesians 2:1).  All men will one-day die physically (with the exception of those translated).   "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement" (Hebrews 9:27). 

6. Man's destiny after death will be in one of two places.  The individual who has placed faith in Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God (2 Corinthians 5:8).  The individual who dies without placing faith in Christ will suffer eternal torment in hell (Matthew 25:41). 

7. The Bible describes hell as a literal, eternal dwelling place.   There will be no second chance for those in hell. The unsaved will suffer in hell eternally (Luke 16:19-31; Matthew 25:41). 

8. Hell is a place of eternal fire and separation from the goodness of God.  "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire"  (Revelation 20:15).
