According to the Holy Scriptures, the man was created as male and female in the image of God. Thus it gives man a likeness only to God. The man was elevated above all other creations. His dignity, as a man and a woman, is elevated. The man had freedom of choice. As a person, he is free to rule and subjugate all creation. In his freedom, the first man could choose what did not belong to him. Sin thus entered the world by man's choice. This violated human dignity and overall order. Where at the beginning there were order and the dignity of man as male and female were not violated, after sin, disorder entered the world. The image of a man and a woman is distorted. Their union is now marked by lust. This means that in their community no freedom wants the good of the other for its own sake, but that the other is wanted only for its own sake. Christ restored this state with his sacrifice. Man has been given back the grace by which he can live again as in the beginning, according to the Creator's original plan. So now man is a new redeemed creature. The union of man and woman is new. His dignity was restored. However, because of sin, redeemed man is prone to sin again. And the basic thing that sin wants to damage is the image of God in the world.
