What Is The Origin Of Mankind?


            
             Mankind's origin is from God through creation. The Bible tells us in Genesis chapter 1 verse 27; So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him: male and female created He them. The Bible also says in Genesis chapter 2 verse 7, And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
             Truth about creation is found only in the Bible (Ryrie 206). The first verse of the Bible Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth, is an absolute statement.
             Mankind's origin was not a result a ridiculous theory that a big bang occurred, causing life to begin. Neither was mankind a single cell organism floating around in the ocean. Mankind was not formed by a mutation of organisms in the sea. Man's origin did not come from another life source from another planet.
             Mankind's origin was premeditated from God, formed from the dust of the earth, and made in His image and likeness. God confers with Himself and rouses Himself to make man in His own image and likeness (Bavinck 1). Because man is made in God's image and likeness, he is set apart from any other creature or angel ever created. Man has a relationship with God that no other creature will ever have.
             Mankind is given authority over all the creatures of the earth. Mankind is also given authority over himself to make his own choices. Man is to populate the earth.
             We should understand that Jesus was our creator first, then our savior. Mankind is nothing without our creator and savior. For mankind to grasp the realization of his origin, he must have faith that his life begins with God and ends with the decisions that he makes on this side of eternity. Mankind should not take the task of having dominion over every living creature lightly; this job is an honor and should be treated as one.
             Mankind should live according to his origin. Mankind should follow God's commandments by reaching and educating all men on earth, telling them of their origin, and showing proof of God's will in their lives.
