“Man-God Built”
.
Several years ago The London Zoo posted a sign in front of their newest exhibit:
"Warning: Humans in Their Natural Environment."
The exhibit featured eight Homo sapiens in a sealed enclosure adjacent to another sealed enclosure of various primates.
The human "captives" were chosen from an online contest, and spent their time sunning on a rock ledge, playing board games, and waving to spectators.
A signboard informed visitors about the species diet, habitat, and threats.
The goal of the exhibit, according to Zoo spokesperson Polly Wills, was to downplay the uniqueness of human beings as a species.
Seeing people, among other animals, said Wills teaches members of the public that the human is just another primate.
Tom Mahoney, one of the participants in the exhibit, said “A lot of people think that humans are above other animals, but when they see humans as animals it reminds them that we're not that special.
That is what our children are being taught in the public school from the time that they are old enough to sit in a classroom and listen.
What happens when you teach and indoctrinate generations of children that they are nothing more than an evolved animal and there's no Creator they are responsible to?
I will tell you what happens; you end up with a society of people who have the morals and restrain of an animal.
That's why we have 5th graders killing for a pair of shoes.
That's why we have pre-teen's swapping sex partners.
That's why we have high school girls having babies in the bathroom during prom, throwing the baby in the trash and going back out to dance.
What you believe about where you came from is going to impact where you're going and how you act on your way there.
Were we created by God, or did we evolve from a monkey?
The evolutionist teaches that we evolve from a lower life form; they cannot tell you where this life form came from, but that’s what they believe.
I believe we came from the only life form that is eternal in nature, and that is God!
Moses the writer of Genesis has already told us that God made man in His own Image, .
But in these verses, He is going to zoom in for a close up look at God making man, putting him in the Garden, and giving him the freedom of choice.
In these verses we discover three facts:
1.
You are Wonderfully Made by God!
V:7-“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Up until this point God had created everything by just speaking it into begin, God said and it was so.
We find that phrase over and over in chapter one, nowhere else in creation do you find God putting His hands on something!
But when God made man, he personal got his hands dirty, this tells us about the dignity, value and worth of man.
You are handcrafted by God; you are special and unique to God, you are one of a kind.
Every person is handcrafted by God; just as God formed Adam, God formed you.
Psalm 146:14-“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well.
The picture we are given in V:7, is God personally forming man from the dust of the ground.
The word “formed” is the word “to mold” it means the act of creation was by careful design, and intentionality.
God is the potter who perfectly works out his designs.
Man was not an afterthought to God; man is not the end result of a long line of animals.
No! Man is the master piece of God’s creation!
When the bible says that creation declares the glory of God, that means not only the heavens and the earth, but it means man also!
The first man Adam was molded by God, out of the dust of the ground.
I heard about a little boy that asked his Sunday school teacher, where did we come from?
She said, Dust.
He said, well, where are we going?
She said, back to Dust.
The next day the little boy was up in his room, and he came running out screaming for his mother.
He said, Mamma, come upstairs quick, I just looked under my bed and somebody is either coming or going.
When the bible says that man came from dust, that is not only biblically true, it is scientifically true!
Research scientists from NASA Ames research center reported that every element in the human body is found in dirt.
If you give the scientists time, they'll catch up with the Bible.
Whenever a scientist has a good word to say about the Bible, that doesn't give me more confidence in the Bible; it gives me a little more confidence in the scientist.
The elements of man came from the dirt.
Man is made up of 58 pounds of oxygen, 50 quarts of water, 2 ounces of salt, 3 pounds of calcium, 24 pounds of carbon, some Chlorine, phosphorus, fat, iron, sulfur and glycerin.
We could go to the store and bring all these things home and put them on the kitchen table, it is your do-it-yourself kit for a human body.
Good luck!
The Bible tells us V:7- "The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
God took that dust, that water, those elements and formed and molded them into a man.
The amazing human body testifies to the wisdom and power of God.
The human body is a miracle of God:
I learned a lot about skin during Tess’s surgeries .I learned that your skin is your biggest organ, and that one square inch of skin; that’s the size of a postage stamp, that one square inch of skin has 3 million cells.
And every cell is more complicated than New York City.
And in that little piece of skin the size of a postage stamp would be a yard of blood vessels, 4 yards of nerves, 100 sweat glands, 15 oil glands, 25 nerve endings in a piece of skin the size of a postage stamp.
God designed your skin and without it you cannot live!
Think about your heart:
Make a fist, that is about the size of your heart, and it weighs about a pound.
Yet it is the strongest muscle in your body.
Your heart beats 72 times a minute, 40 million times a year.
It will push almost 1 million gallons of blood through the 60,000 miles of blood vessels in your body.
And your blood carries oxygen and nutrients to your body and your white blood cells fight off infection.
The bible says the life of the flesh is in the blood.
Think about your eye:
The human eye is amazing and complex; there are over one million optic nerves that connected the eye to the brain.
And your eye is superior to any camera lens that has ever been made; your pupils adjust automatically to bring into focus things that are near or things that are far.
When your eye takes a picture, it takes it in color and develops it instantaneously!
Your eye has the ability to transmit to your brain over 1.5 million messages at the same time.
You think that just happened?
Not on your life!
-“The hearing ear, and the Seeing Eye, the Lord hath made even both of them”
We don’t have time to talk about the ear, I did a little reading on the ear it is an architectural wonder.
No man has ever produced a microphone that can duplicate the human ear.
The eardrum is capable of handling over 73,000 vibrations per second and the liquid in the inner ear picks up those vibrations and turns them into sounds your brain understands.
And your brain weighing in at about 3 pounds, is a computer far above any computer every built by man!
Your brain has more switches than all the computers and routers and Internet connections on Earth.
Your brain designed by God is the control center for your body; it sends messages that travel faster than 300 hundreds miles an hour along the nervous system to the entire body.
I was putting wood in my woodstove the other morning when it was so cold, and I got my finger between the wood and the door of the stove; and when my finger got mashed by brain said, Praise the Lord that hurt!!
The body that God formed out of the earth is fearfully and wonderfully made, it is no accident!
When God had finished forming man we are told V:7-“God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”
The picture here is absolutely wonderful; it is a picture of God face to face with Adam, and breathing into his nose His breath.
God blew into Adam His life!!
Human life is sacred because it comes from God!! Man is made in the image of God; He is body, soul and spirit, unlike the animals.
Man’s body will die, but his soul that came from God will never die!
Man is immortal!
Paul told us in , that our bodies are just the house we live in on this earth; the real you lives in the house we see, your body.
You should take care of your body, if came from God, it needs to last you until God is done with you on this earth.
But your eternal, never dying soul is of greater value than your body, please today; take care of your soul by giving if to Jesus!!
We discover: You are wonderfully made by God.
We discover a second fact:
2.
You are Strategically Placed by God!
V:6-14.
God planted a garden in Eden and placed Adam in that garden for a specific purpose.
Adam’s home was beautiful and fruitful, there were all kinds of fruit trees, and a river in the garden that went out and became 4 rivers.
Nobody knows where the Garden of Eden was, many people have speculated.
When Christopher Columbus passed the mouth of the Orinoco River in South America, he said that its waters came from the Garden of Eden, but he also thought he was on the east coast of Asia.
The word Eden means- delight.
