The Nature of Man
Barney Rehm - August 31, 2024
Although mankind shares physical mortality with the animals, God created human beings in His own image and placed within them the spirit of man, giving them understanding, self-consciousness, and the capacity for relationship with Him. This spirit, combined with the human brain, forms the mind and records character, yet at death it returns to God while the person sleeps without awareness. The purpose of this unique creation is that men and women might ultimately enter God’s family as His children. Understanding the true nature of man motivates believers to develop holy character now, knowing God is able to resurrect both body and spirit.
