The Human nature

Presented by: Esteban and Bracho


The nature of man
And God said, “ Let us make man in our
image, according to our likeness”.

The perfect sculpture lay completed with


every hair, eyelashes, and nail in place, but
God was not finished. This man was to
collect dust, but to live.
Stooping over his magnificent form,
Genesis 2:7 says..
“And God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a
living being”.
But realizing man’s need of companionship, God
made “him a helper comparable to him”. God
caused “ a deep sleep” to come over Adam and,
as Adam slept, God extracted one of Adam’s ribs
made it into woman.
Genesis 2:18,21,22
“So God created • Then God blessed them, and God said

Genesis 1:31
The Origin of Man
God Created Man
• The origin of the human race is found in a divine
council. God said, “ Lest us make man” (Gen
1:26). The plural “US” refers to the Trinitarian
Godhead, God the father, God the son, God the
Holy spirit. Of one purpose, then, God began to
create the first human being (Gen 1:27).
Created from the dust of the ground
• God formed man from “ the dust of the ground” (Gen 2:7),
using pre-existing matter but not other forms of life, such as
marine or land animals. Not until he had formed every organ
and put it in its place did he introduce the “ breathe of life”
that made man a living person.
Created after a divine type
• God created each of the other animals, fishes, birds, reptiles, insects,
mammals, ect.“according to its kind” ( Gen, 1:21,24,25). Each species had a
typical form of its own and the ability to reproduce its specific kind. Man ,
however, was created after the divine type, not after a type of the animal
kingdom. God said, “ let us make man in our own image, according to our
likeness” (Gen 1:26). There is clear discontinuity between humans and the
animal kingdom.

Then God breathed into
this lifeless matter the
breath of life and “man
became a living being.”
An Indivisible Unity

Created in the image and likeness of God

• We are created in the likeness of God. But when Adam


and Eve it makes us that we are created as the likeness
of Adam and eve.
Created for Relationships with others
God said,

“It is not good that man


should be alone” ( Gen 2:18)
And He made Eve. Just as the
three members of the Godhead
are united in a loving relationship,
so we were created for the
fellowship found in friendship or
marriage.
Created to be Stewards of the environment

God said,
“Let Us make man in Our
own image, according to Our
likeness; let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, over the You have to put all things under
birds of the air, and over the his feet. ( Ps. 8:6-8)

every creeping thing that creeps
on the earth” ( Gen. 1:26)
Created to imitate God

As human beings, we are to act like God because we were


made to be like God. Though we are human, and not
divine, we are to reflect our Maker within our dominion
in every way possible.
Created with conditional
Immortality
At Creation, our first parents were
given immortality, though their
possession of it was conditioned
upon obedience. Having access to
the tree of life, they were destined
to live forever.
THE FALL
Even though we are created
perfect and in God’s image, and
placed in a perfect environment,
Adam and Eve became
transgressors.
