Lesson 3: How was I made?

( Read Genesis 1: 26) (Read Genesis 2)

A man walking down the beach comes across a broken watch. In his mind he simply understands that someone made that watch. He then adores the beauty of this watch but then starts to question how the watch was made and what happens next since the watch has done its time and lost its functions?

Lets apply this analogy to our Human life. It's simple enough to accept that we are made by God but How are we made and what happens when we die?

In our lesson this week we will discover How God made us. Genesis Chapter 2 is a passage that goes into the details of creation. In the previous lessons we came across a verse stating that Humans were made on the sixth day of creation (Gen 1:26). We came to an understanding that in all the other aspects of creation God spake and things came to be. However when it came to the creation of Humans God decided to 'make.'

We are a very privileged creation because unlike other creations were God only spoke we were moulded/formed by the Hands of God (Gen2: 7 ). We are so special to the fact that God breathed into our nostrils. Think about it, how many people on earth are you willing to breath into their nostrils? Or rather how many people do you permit to breath in your nostrils. Our Creator did this so we could come to life. This is a strong signal of how God wants to be close to us and establish a very strong relationship. At the same time in this passage God is teaching us LOVE. Let us love others as we love ourselves because for them to be alive God had to breath in a nostril which you and I are not willing to even get closer to.

Next week we are going to discover what happens when we die.
