yea, happy is that people, whose GOD is the LORD.

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. (Psa 144:3-4)

What is man?  The crown of Creation.  Made in the image of GOD; with a body that now dies due to sIn, a Soul (Mind, will, intellect) that will rise to Heaven or sink to Hell upon death, and a Spirit (that died in Adam, and is resurrected with Christ [for believers]).

We are NOT glorified apes, or animals of any Kind.  Adam didn't find a mate among any of the animals, so GOD made a wife for him that was just like him, but different also.

Then sIn entered because of Man's willful disobedience and we are now no longer perfect.  The image is marred and broken (as is all creation.)  Now we die, after a relatively short lifespan.  The question the is; where will you spend eternity?  We were made to fellowship with GOD, and we rejected that fellowship and are separated from GOD because of our sIn.  And yet, He loves each and everyone of us.  He wants us to be set free, and in right relationship with Him. 

An honest look at ourselves may not be pleasant, but it is enlightening...Let GOD show you how much He loves and cares for you today.

In Christ,
