P. 13
Repentance from sin
God is the creator of all things.
Man did not just come about, he was deliberately made.
Genesis 1 v26 says 'Let us make man'. The us is God—
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit .
Man is the crowning work of God and has been given
faculties no other creation of God possesses. Man has the
ability to:-
See God in His Work. Romans1 v19,20. 'since what may
be known about God is plain to them (men & women),
because God has made it plain to them. For since the
creation of the world, God's invisible qualities...have
been clearly seen... so that men are without excuse'.
See the evidences of God's wisdom. Psalm 104 v24 'How
many are your works O Lord, in wisdom you made them
all.'
Marvel at God's power . Psalm 150 v2 'Praise God for His
mighty power and surpassing greatness'
Appreciate His goodness. Psalm 33 v5 'The Lord loves
righteousness and justice, the earth is full of His
unfailing love'.
This ability is only found in mankind. Animals have instinct,
man has intellect to guide him in important decisions. This is
because God made everything in its own kind. Genesis 1
v21, 24, 25.
Similar characteristics between animals and man is not
evidence of a single origin but evidence of a single creator
making every creature distinctive, despite similarities.
