Why God made men from the dust of the earth?


Michelangelo's painting named God creates Adam which can be seen today at Sistine Chapel which is inside the St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican

Why God made men from the dust?

1) God's thoughts and ways are higher than men (Read Isaiah 55:8-9)

2) Because the dust is the symbol of humility (Read Isaiah 26:5)

3) To make one vessel unto honor and another foe dishonor (Read Romans 9:21)

* The reason why God made us from the dust is to become humble.

God wants is to become humble because "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." (Read Luke 14:11)

This is true, remember the devil who was once the most beautiful angel of God but today he is brought down from heaven by God because of his pride.

Meaning, we must do the same in order for us not to happen of what happened to the devil on the past eternity.

The best example of wisdom from being dust to be understand

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. (Read Psalms 139:15)

lowest parts of the earth (the mother's womb)

with defects - (Read Psalms 139:16)

Moral lesson: In order to reach God's kingdom, we must know to be humble
