God’s Greatest Earthly Creation – Man

During creation, God simply spoke and things came to pass. But when He decided to make man, God changed His creation pattern.

Then God said, “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

So God created man in His own image in the image of God created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1: 26-27

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and he became a living being.” Genesis 2: 7

As you can see from God’s word, the creation of man was something special. First, there was a conference among the God Head and they agreed to make man. Second, they decided to make man in Their own image. This doesn’t mean that man looks like God. It means that man, like God, is a triune being. In the case of man, he has a body. Inside this body is a spirit. This spirit is the part of man that realizes there is a God. Our third part is our immortal soul. This is the real us. This is the part that must deal with God and God’s plan for us.

Third, God took time from the creation and formed man from the dust of the Earth. Think about it-God himself molded man. You can see why the Bible talks about man as a pot and God as the potter. In essence, this is exactly what happened.

Man is not like the rest of creation. Man and man alone has an immortal soul. It will live throughout the ages.
