THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL 93ity, sin, corruption, perversion of mind! From creation to destruction.Now to another point of NEW TRUTH! Haven't you wonderedWHY Satan is still here, now subtilely swaying mankind into hisways of GETTING, seeking false values, and perversion of mind?Think on this! Think of it as Goo viewed it! 1 have previouslyexplained how ONL Y Goo, of all living beings, possessedthis holy and righteous character - only Goo could be positivelyrelied on never to depart from His way of LOVE.But God also knew there were not enough ofHim! He wantedmillions - even billions - of personages endowed with His holyand righteous character!That is why God had purposed to REPRODUCE HIMSELF,through MAN!So, (Psalm 104:30) God in six days RENEWED THE FACE OFTHE EARTH - restoring it from the wasteness and decay caused bysinning angels - preparing it to become the proving ground of MANto develop in man God's righteous character, and prepare him forthe same transcendent poten tia! that had been that of the angels!Genesis 1, we ha ve seen, records the six days of renewing theface ofthe earth, preparing it forMAN.Come now to Genesis 1 :25-26:"And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, andcattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth u pon the earthafter his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Letus [not me] make man in our image, after our likeness [form andshape] ...."In other words, AFTER THE Goo KIND! For a very specialrelationship with God!But "God formed man of the dust of the ground ..." (Gen.2:7) - not out of Spirit as angels had been formed.Now CONSIDER CAREFULLY!The first man, Adam, was given the opportunity to QUALIFYto replace the former Lucifer on the THRONE OF THE GOVERNMENToF Goo.But- note carefully this! - to qualify, Adam had to not onlyaccept God's GOVERNMENT and way of life - it was imperativethat he also HAD TO REJECT AND TURN FROM the way of Satan.He had to OVERCOME Satan and his way!
