What Is Man?
That is the question, and these are some of the answers:
...the “figure” of Him that was to come; through “a body prepared” ...a creature; the “spitting (bodily) image” of the Creator ...a prototype, a mini-me (of the Godhead)...a 'distinct order of creation.'
[Rom 5:14; Heb 10:5; Gen 1:26; Col 2:9]
Man is like God; but, relatively speaking, he is a “little lower than” God...made to be co-dependent; to “live ...by every word that comes out of his Creator's mouth.” For His Creator's “words are spirit, and they are life.” [Deu 8:3; Jn 6:63]
Man was made “naked” (vulnerable); that he might depend on the Lord (His Creator) to be His covering, and his provision. ie. He is all my righteousness, I stand complete in Him “...His banner over me is love.” Made to be the “house” of God. [Gen 3:9-10; Song Of Solomon 2:4; Heb 3:6]
note. The word of the Lord said: “I AM with you, to be IN you; that, as your words 'ascend' unto Me, My promises will 'descend' unto you.” Selah.
ThenSingsMySoul:
WITHOUT HIM, I COULD DO NOTHING;
WITHOUT HIM, I WOULD FAIL.
WITHOUT HIM, I WOULD BE DRIFTING;
LIKE A SHIP WITHOUT A SAIL.
[Jn 15:5]
