The term "originally" is not directly found in the text of the Bible; however, it is a concept that can be explored through the understanding of creation, the nature of humanity, and the divine plan as revealed in Scripture. The Bible provides insight into the original state of the world, humanity, and God's intentions.

Creation and the Original State of the World

The Bible begins with the account of creation in Genesis, where God creates the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 states, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This verse sets the stage for the original state of the world, which was created by God and declared to be good. Genesis 1:31 further emphasizes this, "And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good."

The original creation was marked by order, beauty, and harmony. The Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve were placed, represents the ideal environment that God intended for humanity. It was a place of abundance, peace, and direct fellowship with God.

The Original Nature of Humanity

Humanity was created in the image of God, as stated in Genesis 1:27 , "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." This original state of humanity reflects the dignity, purpose, and relational nature intended by God. Being made in God's image implies a unique capacity for relationship with the Creator, moral responsibility, and stewardship over creation.

Adam and Eve, the first humans, were created with free will and the ability to choose. This freedom was part of their original nature, allowing them to love and obey God willingly. However, the fall of humanity, as described in Genesis 3, altered this original state, introducing sin and its consequences into the world.

The Original Plan of Redemption

Despite the fall, the Bible reveals that God had an original plan for redemption. This plan is hinted at in Genesis 3:15 , where God speaks to the serpent, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel." This verse is often seen as the first promise of a Savior, foreshadowing the coming of Jesus Christ.

Throughout the Old Testament, God's original plan unfolds through covenants with figures like Abraham, Moses, and David, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ. The New Testament reveals Jesus as the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, restoring what was lost in the fall and offering salvation to all who believe.

The Restoration of the Original Order

The Bible also speaks of a future restoration of the original order. In Revelation 21:1 , John writes, "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more." This vision of a new creation reflects the restoration of the original harmony and perfection intended by God.

In this restored state, believers will experience eternal life in the presence of God, free from sin, suffering, and death. Revelation 21:4 promises, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away."

In summary, while the term "originally" is not explicitly used in the Bible, the concept is deeply embedded in the narrative of creation, the nature of humanity, and God's redemptive plan. The Scriptures reveal God's original intentions and the ultimate restoration of His creation through Jesus Christ.1. (adv.)
