BIBLE Read Genesis 1:27 through 31 and Chapter 2.

 

THE CREATION OF MAN

The source of man is God. The method by which man was made was Creation.

 

The source of man.

The Bible explains the origin, or source, of mankind as being a direct result of a special act of God. Genesis 1:1 tells us that “In the beginning God created. . .”   This statement clearly shows that mankind had its beginning in God. We did not evolve as many scientists use the term; rather, we were created. God created man from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7).

 

The method of Creation.

Man's body was made from dust, yet he was not complete. Next, God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and then man became a living soul. God created the first man from the elements of earth (Genesis 2:7). Then God gave man his spirit, which made him a complete creation. Thus, God created the total man to enjoy fellowship with Him.
