Centuries ago, King David questioned in praise of the Creator;

What is man that you are mindful of him,
son of man that you care for him?

This question is becoming more and more serious today as signs of loss of humanity are beginning to appear everywhere. The threats
presented to us by nuclear weapons, resources crisis, the inevitable
extinction of human beings by pollution, disorder of society and the overflow of excess information by computer systematisation and
confusion caused by a rapidly changing world, are culminating fast to
become the most serious crisis we have ever encountered.

What is man's origin?
The reasons behind the existence of human beings?
Man's value?
Man's ultimate purpose?
The Bible gives the answers to all these endless questions. The Bible
wants to tell us that the cause of the present nightmare, confusion
and evil lies in the fact that man has been ignoring God's word.
Only in the light of God's light can we truly understand what a man
Is and give answers to each of the question mentioned above.

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth ,
before the days of trouble come
and
the years approach when you will say,
"I find no pleasure in them"-
before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars
grow dark and
the clouds return after the rain;
.... Remember him - before the silver cord is severed
or the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
...and the dust returns to the ground it came from
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Ps.8:4

Fear God and keep his commandments
for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment
Including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
As shown in these verses, the author of Ecclesiastes tells us that
the life of a man is under God's control. Those who have had near
death experiences testify that their physical body was connected to
their spirit by a 'silver cord' as told in the Bible.

Man did not start with parthenogenesis in the primitive age nor did man come into existence by evolution. For some reason, the vital
fact that Darwin, the man who proposed the theory of evolution,
himself regretted having formulated the hypothesis which blasphemed against God and which was misused by others (Karl Marx, Haeckel, etc.) and in his latter years became a devoted Christian whose
favourite book became the 'Epistle to the Hebrews', has been
concealed by the devout followers of the theory.
The Bible makes it clear that from the beginning, man was
created as one who reflects God's image, God's representative on
earth, ruler of every earthly creature and as a creature with glory and
honour. As it is written that Adam, the forefather of human beings,
became a 'living being' by being made from the dust of the ground and by breathing the breath of life ,the nature of a man lies in the
unity of the body and the spirit and man is unique, set apart in
wonder and mystery from other creatures.

Man's goal in God's creation is for man to be made perfectly
alive both physically and spiritually and to live in a right relationship
with God. Man was approved and 'seen as good' by God, the

Creator and made worthy enough to exist. Nevertheless, by giving
into temptation by Satan who had already been a deserter of the
heavenly realm, man sinned and became spiritually dead, one living
in sin. Of course we can be released from that spiritually dead state by faith in Jesus but the complete redemption of our physical body
can only be accomplished at the time of the Lord's second coming
according to the Bible.

Furthermore, God, who thought,
it is not good for a man to live alone,
from the beginning of creation, intended man to live in a mutual
relationship within a community. In this way, the ideal image of the triunal Godhead (trinity), living in a mutual relationship between the Father, Son and Spirit, would be reflected in His creation.
The complete picture of the relationship between God, man and other
creatures is summed up in the 'New Jerusalem' in ch21 of Revelation.
The terminal of God's redemptive history is the reappearance of
the eternal city which God had intended humans to live in at the
beginning of creation.
So why did Human history begin to deviate in such a drastic
manner from God's will?
