If there was ever a time in the history of this world where a true understanding of humanity was needed, it is now. Every major philosophy or government has its particular definition of man, and along with that would carry a particular thought with regard to his origin and destiny, whether it be capitalism or communism, or anything in between or outside of those two. Modern thought is defining human beings by all kinds of things: race, religion, political party, sexual orientation, and the list goes on and on and on, and on. Yet these are the very things that are dividing humanity and holding people back from seeing the reality of who they are in the deepest essence and design of their being.
It is not popular today to talk about man in the light of the bible, because often people's first thought of the biblical idea of man is that he is a sinner. While that is true, that is Genesis chapter 3, and is not the first thing that is spoken regarding humanity. The first thing is this:
"And God said, let Us make man in Our image and in Our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creature that moves along the ground.
God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
Genesis 1:26-27
Now something terrible went wrong with that first thing, and until today the world is suffering the fruit of that wrong decision. But it didn't stop God from taking it upon Himself to fix the whole problem in the person of His Son, into who's image we were predestined to be conformed.
This blog is dedicated to offer people material that will aid to the understanding of what and who man is. The Lord has been bringing to the attention of a number of people the importance with understanding who we, who and what humanity is, in terms of His original design and intention, as well as His ultimate desire for humanity.
Here's a video that might serve as a small foretaste for what you might find in this blog...
