text: Mankind was made in the image of God.\n1) God is Spirit, but He made mankind flesh and blood by creating something out of nothing.\n2) The physical man has an end, but the soul of man is immortal meaning it will never die.\n3) Man has the gift of thinking, of which animals do not. Man also has a free-will to choose right or wrong. Animals do not. Animals have instinct, mankind has reason.\n4) Man did not have to use his conscience until after the fall in the Garden of Eden. After they sinned against God, their consciences were used to guide them.\n5) Man is limited to the laws of the physical universe while he is still alive in the flesh. Once a man dies he will live in the realm of the spiritual and will have no limitations like he does now.\n6) Man has freedom to make choices but he cannot change his chief end. The chief end of all mankind is to praise and glorify Jesus Christ for all eternity.
