Introduction• Who am I? Why am I here? These are LIFE’S BIG
QUESTIONS. Everyone asks these questions, or variations of them, in every AGE and every CULTURE at some point in their lives. The answers to these questions are linked to our SELF-IMAGE and our WORLDVIEW. Theologically, MAN IS A CREATED TERRESTRIAL SPIRIT BEING WITH MORAL JUDGMENT and INTELLIGENCE, BEARING THE IMAGE OF GOD. Bearing the IMAGE (selem- resemblance, figure) of GOD and the LIKENESS (demut- manner, similitude, fashion) of GOD, MAN was DESIGNED to be GOD’S REPRESENTATIVE on the EARTH (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7).
![Page 8: Hosting the presence (part 3)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062823/587736bf1a28ab342e8b4b79/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Introduction• The Hebrew words “IMAGE” (tselem) and “LIKENESS” (demuwth) refer to something that is a “DUPLICATE OF” but not the “original of.” The fact that man is in the IMAGE of GOD means that man is like God in the following ways: INTELLECTUAL ABILITY, moral purity, SPIRITUAL NATURE, creativity, DOMINION over the EARTH, ability to make ethical choices, and immortality.
![Page 9: Hosting the presence (part 3)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062823/587736bf1a28ab342e8b4b79/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Introduction• The LORD God PLANTED a GARDEN in the
EAST of EDEN (Genesis 2:8). He “TOOK” (laqah- take away, fetch, draw, carry away) the MAN who He formed and “PLACED” (yanah- deposit, put, lay up, settle down) him “IN” or “INTO” the GARDEN (v. 15). The PURPOSE of MAN, being in the GARDEN, was to “WORK” (‘abad- serve, dress, till, execute) and “KEEP” (shamar- guard, protect, watch, observe, preserve) it (v. 15). This reveals that the FIRST ASSIGNMENT of MAN is to be a GARDENER (John 20:11-17). It is also denoted in the KINGDOM MANDATE- “Be fruitful, multiple, replenish the earth, subdue it, and have dominion” (Genesis 1:28).

Introduction• Man’s ASSIGNMENT coupled with bearing the IMAGE and LIKENESS of GOD meant he was created RE-PRESENT GOD in PERSONALITY and FUNCTION on the earth. In order to EXAMINE the DOMINION and AUTHORITY of MAN, GOD provided a means to TEST MAN’S CREATIVE and INTELLECTUAL ability. He brought to man ALL the ANIMALS, over which He had GIVEN man DOMINION, to SEE what he would CALL them (Genesis 2:19-20).
![Page 11: Hosting the presence (part 3)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062823/587736bf1a28ab342e8b4b79/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Introduction• Man perfectly PASSED his TEST of DOMINION over the ANIMAL and VEGETATION KINGDOMS (Genesis 2:16-17,19-20). However, he horribly failed his TEST of SUBJECTION (Genesis 3:1-7). He neither CONQUERED the SERPENT or his own APPETITE. Ultimately, he caused ALL CREATION to FALL along with him. Why? What was the reason for the his fall? He did NOT KNOW or UNDERSTAND WHO HE WAS. He assumed a MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
![Page 12: Hosting the presence (part 3)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062823/587736bf1a28ab342e8b4b79/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Introduction• The FALL and SIN of MAN incited GOD to ask him
THREE QUESTIONS: (1) “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9) This speaks to POSITION and ACCOUNTABILITY. (2) “Who told you that you were naked?” (v. 11) This speaks AUTHORITY, IDENTITY, and FELLOWSHIP. (3) “Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” (v. 11) This speaks to APPETITE, COMPLIANCE, RESPONSIBILITY, and RESPONDABILLITY. The LIE of INSIGNIFICANCE has produced both MISREPRESENTATION of PURPOSE and IDENTITY in man. Thankfully, JESUS Christ came to RESTORE and make ALL THINGS new (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). However, we must PASS the TEST of SUBJECTION and RECLAIM our IDENTITY. Who are you?
