Man Having a Spirit to Contain God
Gen. 1:26 God said, Let us make man in Our Image, according to our likeness...
Gen 2:7, 9 Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his notrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul... and out of the ground grew a tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, as well as the tree of life in the middle of the garden
Words of Ministry: Genesis chapters 1 and 2 show us that when God created man, he made two preparations concerning man.. The first preparation was that he created man in his image and according to his likeness. as man was created according to God, he resembles God in many aspects. The various aspects of mans expression, such as his pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy, preference, choice, etc. - whether it be his emotion, will, or disposition- express God to a certain degree and are miniatures of all that is in God.
Another preparation was that God created for man a spirit in the depths of his being. of the countless varieties of living things in the universe, only man has a spirit. In the whole creation there is one kind of created being that is not spirit yet has a spirit, and that is man. Why did God create a spirit for man in the depths of his being? We all know that is was because God wants man to receive him, who is Spirit. In the same way, he created a stomach for man because he wants man to take in food. Consider this: Suppose God did not create a stomach for man. How could we take in food? Because we have a stomach, we can receive food into us, enjoy it, digest it, asnd assimilate it into our being, making it our constituent. in the same manner, since we have a spirit within us, we can receive God into us and assimilate him, making him our very constituent.
