mi K MAN? by chaplain Perry
What is man? We have heard that phys
ically man is worth some 98 cents.Others
say man is a peculiar complex of impuls
es, desires, instincts, and urges. Still
others regard man as a social creature
related to- other people. Each may be
true as far as it goes.
The real truth is that man is body &
soul. If he has a body, who has it? He
is a soul—not has a soul. His soul has
a body. God made men na living soul.’*
God made him in His image. Man was a
person-in-the-making. He is always be
coming—in the direction of his intend
ed destiny. And what is his destiny? He
is intended to live as a whole man (body
and soul) in God’s way and for His purp
ose—to speak first His Kingdom and His
righteousness. Only the man made whole
could find this real life.
If man has to become and has to be
made, this implies he is out of order &
not his true self. He is inordinate.He
does not live according to plan. He is
a sinner. Why? He is a creature of
choice who can choose the possibilities
of either good or bad, life or death,
heaven or hell. He can choose to follow
either good or bad, life or death,heaven
or hell. He can choose to follow either
(Continued next column)
the animal or the God-given spiritual
expression of his life. Man cannot un- *
derstand why he chooses to do the evil
and give in to the bad; he cannot under
stand himself* **0 wretched man that I
am, -who will deliver me from this body
of death?1* Paul aska* And it is obvious
ly true that man cannot help himsel^Onl^
God can help man, but only when man will
to be helped (saved) into a right relat
ionship with both God and man. God comec
in mercy and compassion to forgive man,
restore man*
