CREATION OF MAN (part1)7 reasons why God created us:
#1 HAVE HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”God is love, so our life is motivated by love.
we seek love in our whole life.
selfishness -> self-centeredness -> greedy
He wants us to look like Him.
#2 EXERCISE HIS DELEGATED AUTHORITYGod is still in control.
we lost our authority (eg, dogs chase us, mosquito bite us) because we sin.
#3 HE WANTS US TO BE LIKE CHRISTGenesis 1:27
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
we are made in Jesus' image.
Colossians 1:15
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation.God in invisible. people only see God in visions, not in person.
our physical body cannot withstand His glory and power.
#4 TO RECEIVE HIS BLESSINGSGenesis 1:28Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”when we receive Jesus into our life, we have gone back to the original plan of God
#5 BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLYin our studies, work, spiritually, we got to be fruitful and multiply
John 15:16-17You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.
be fruitful and multiply, at the same time, we must love each other.
be a blessing to people with what you have.
#6 ENJOY HIS PROVISIONGenesis 1:29Then God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food."He is
Jehovah Jireh, our provider.
if we walk in His ways, we can depend on Him to provide for our needs. if we choose to walk in our own ways, we got to provide for our own needs. so, be humble and submit to His ways.
#7 BECAUSE HE SAW THAT IT IS GOODGenesis 1:31Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.
if we reject ourself, we will reject other people, then we will reject the grace of God.
have love in your heart.
HOW DID HE CREATE MAN?
Genesis 2:7 God gave man His spirit
John 6:63man become a living soul.
Ecclesiastes 12:7the real you is your soul.
God wants us to use our spirit to communicate with Him.

we have spirit, soul and body. 3 in1, same like God.
1 thessalonians 5:23

FIRST FUNCTION OF SPIRIT-

having victory in the spiritual world means having victory in the physical world.
the spiritual world will last forever.
