God and Humankind....

Humans are unique..
The book of Genesis reveals that God personally formed the first man " of the dust of the ground ,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life
( Genesis 2:7 , New King James throughout )

And significantly , God created man and women ,
" in his own image "
( Genesis 1:27 )

Only humans were made in the image of God...

Thus from the beginning , the Bible shows that man and women were
designed to have the capacity to have a special relationship with God.
This capacity sets humans apart from the rest of creation...

From a purely physical stand point , human life is no different from that of animals..
( Ecclesiastes 3:19-20 )

Humans and animals have a transient biochemical existence..
But in humans there is a significant added dimensions..

God endowed human beings with minds..
That makes us unique almong all creatures...
That's why we need and yearn for a relationship with God...
