2) Man
What we have learned about mankind:
- Human beings (people) are uniquely created by God, in His image. As such, we were given some qualities and abilities which God’s other creatures did not receive.
- These special qualities and abilities equip us to be caretakers of God’s creation, a role that God has assigned to us.
- God loves all human beings and desires that we be in perfect fellowship with Him and enjoy His presence.
- Not only did God give us the responsibility and ability to obey Him, He also gave us the capacity to disobey.
- Because God made us and owns us, every human being is accountable to Him.
- Human beings were created with a material body as well as an immaterial spirit.
- The spirit of man will never cease to exist; it will live forever in a resurrected body.

Genesis 2:7
