The human being is not only a physical being(flesh), but it also has a spirit, then a spirit being. Hence man It is. written, Man shall not live by. bread alone, but by every word that. proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

1. MAN CREATED
AS
A SPIRIT BEING
Genesis 1:26

2. THE POINT
We saw the beauty of creation last Sunday and we
were impressed how God created man so differently
from all the other creatures. Today we want to
understand a bit more what the Bible says of creating
man in the image and likeness of God. What does that
mean? Understanding that man is a spirit being is very
important because the Bible addresses itself to the
spirit being that we are and not knowing that we are
spirit beings, me miss it. Today God wants to help us
have the right knowledge about ourselves so that we
can live the righteous and holy live that He wants us
to live.

3. Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in
our image, in our likeness, and let
them rule over the fish of the sea and
the birds of the air, over the livestock,
over all the earth, and over all the
creatures that move along the
ground."

4. THE PRIVILEGE OF MAN
AFTER GOD CREATED ALL THE OTHER
CREATURES, HE DECIDED TO CREATED
MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND
LIKENESS.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in
our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the
sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock,
over all the earth, and over all the creatures that
move along the ground."

“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in
spirit and in truth.”
I Corinthians 3:17

6. THE NATURE OF GOD
A SPIRIT HAS NO FLESH NOR BONES
Luke 24:39
“Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself!
Touch me and see; a ghost (Spirit) does not have
flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

7. THE NATURE OF GOD
GOD HAS NO FORM
Deuteronomy 4:12, 15-18
“Then the Lord spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of
words but saw no form; there was only a voice.
You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out
of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,
so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an
image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman,
or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,
or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the
waters below.”

in our likeness,..."

“Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the
truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he
can do only what he sees his Father doing,
because whatever the Father does the Son also
does.”

20. THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT
WITHOUT GOD, MAN THE SPIRIT
BEING IS POWERLESS
JOHN 15:5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If
a man remains in me and I in him, he
will bear much fruit; apart from me you
can do nothing.”

21. THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT
MAN MUST LIVE BY THE WORD OF GOD.
WHEN GOD SPEAKS, MAN MUST ALLOW
THE WORD OF GOD (SPIRIT & LIFE) TO
ENTER HIM AND LIVE THROUGH HIM
