Episode notes
Made By Hand For Relationship
- Genesis 2 shows God formed man by hand from the dust and then breathed life into him, unlike other creation which God spoke into being.
- This highlights that humans are made for personal relationship with God, not merely functional existence.
Ruah: Breath, Spirit, And Life
- The Hebrew word ruah means breath, spirit, and life and is what made Adam a living being when God breathed it into him.
- Many men can be materially successful yet remain empty until they receive God's Spirit and fulfill their created purpose.
Creation From Overflowing Love
- God created humans out of overflow love within the Trinity to be image bearers, completing creation's goodness.
- Men bear an imprint of being made for face-to-face relationship with their Heavenly Father.
