By Evangelist Eric Musa
In the first chapter of Genesis we are told: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” We do not know exactly when this was because there is an indeterminate gap between the first and second verses. But we do know that God spent six days renovating the earth and bringing it back to its condition of beauty and habitation. During this six-day period He made man. I believe man was His highest achievement in all of creation. God said in Genesis 1:26 that man was made “in the image and likeness of God.” Those two words, “image” and “likeness,” imply far more than we are able to comprehend. Man was made God-like in quality.
Do not misunderstand. MAN HAS NEVER BEEN, NOR EVER WILL BE, GOD. The teaching which has become prominent among some sects, that man will eventually work himself into the position of being God, is totally unscriptural and erroneous. Even though man possesses many Godlike qualities, he will always be subject to our Heavenly Father.
The most striking factor in God’s creation of man is THE WILL OF MAN. In other words, God allowed man a will of his own. This is of great import in God’s dealing with man and in man’s dealing with God. It sets man apart from the animals. It sets man apart from all of God’s creation as a whole. Man has THE POWER OF FREE CHOICE. He can choose to serve God—or to rebel against Him. He can choose to love Him or hate Him. He can choose to curse Him or praise Him. Man has this choice. It is man’s unique quality, and it sets him apart from everything else.
GOD ALWAYS HELP US.
