    15 - What Is Man?

    Uploaded by

    Dikaps
    Man is a creation of God, formed from dust, and given life and breath by God. While sharing physical characteristics with other living creatures, man differs in that he is made in God's image and given the capacity for spiritual understanding and communion with his Creator. Man has a tripartite nature of spirit, soul, and body. God invites man to seek Him and promises to reward those who do so diligently. All people should regard God as their Father and live in harmony as brothers. As stewards of the earth under God's authority, people will be called to account for how faithfully they have fulfilled their role and purpose. However, God does not desire the death of sinners but offers repentance and forgiveness

    What Is Man?

    I. WHAT does God claim with reference to mans origin? 1 have created him.... I have formed him; yea, 1 have made him. Isaiah 43:7. 2.What physical characteristics has he in common with other living creatures? And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground. Genesis 2:7. He gives to all life, and breath, and all things. Acts 17:25. They have all one breath. Ecclesiastes 3:19. 3. How does man differ from the lower orders of creation? a. God communicated to man a nature akin to His own. In the image of God made He man. Genesis 9:6. b. God intended man to know and understand His messages of truth. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 4. With what faculties are we able to apprehend God and His will? With my soul have I desired Thee; . . . with my spirit within me will 1 seek Thee early. Isaiah 26:9. 5. Of what three parts is man thus composed? 1 pray God your whole spirit and soul [mind] and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 6. Having given men the capacity for communion with God, what invitation does the Creator extend to them? Seek Him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night. Amos 5:8. 7. If we avail ourselves of the privilege of communion with God, what are we promised? He rewards them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6. 8. How does God desire us to regard Him? Have we not all one Father? hath not one God created us? Malachi 2:10. NOTE God is universal Sovereign-Father, and all men are by nature His children. The age long tragedy of mankind springs from the fact that, though the Fatherhood abides, the son ship is broken. Mankind does not live in the spirit of son ship or in the fellowship of sons. The Christian message is that men may enter into the consciousness and experience of son ship through Jesus Christ. -R M. Hughes, The Christian Idea of God, page 139. 9. What harmonious relation should likewise obtain between man and man? Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Mark 12:31. A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:34. NOTE. Constantly, without our knowing it, we are sources of infection for good or evil. We are the carriers of health and disease -either the divine health of courage and nobility or the demonic diseases of hate and anxiety. No one can be immunized against us; as long as we live we make the world freer or more enslaved, nobler or more degraded. Joshua Loth Litchman, Peace of Mind, page 194. 10. What authority did God give man on the earth? Thou made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou has put all things under his feet. Psalm 8:6. 11. Though God has made man a steward on the earth, how does the Creator declare His ownership? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine. Job 41:11. 12. What is required of a steward? It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:2. 13. Will God call man to account for his stewardship? Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. 1 Corinthians 3:8. 14. What will the unfaithful steward forfeit? If thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity. Ezekiel 33:9. 15. Will God take pleasure in withdrawing life forever from the sinner? 1 have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die? Ezekiel 33:11. 16. What gracious offer, therefore, is made to those who repent and seek to fulfill the divine intention? Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Ezekiel 18:30.
