BREATH OF LIFE The same God that spoke the universe into existence is the same God that created each and every person. When the first person was created, God did not simply speak but it says He, “formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” ‭‭(Genesis 2:7) After this, then God forms the first woman from one of the ribs of the first man. What you can see from this passage is that man was meant to be something special. Humans are the only created thing that was not spoken into existence. God crafted man from the dust, meaning that He had to come down to the earth to create us. He stepped down from His throne to "form" our bodies from the ground and He then does something special. It says, He "breathed into the man's nostrils the breathe of life." You have to understand that before this, animals were created and they obviously have the breathe of life as well, but God did not breathe into their nostrils as He did with man. He spoke life into the animals, but for us humans, He came up to our dead bodies and breathed His very life into our lungs. God created humans with a purpose and with meaning. This all sounds amazing just thinking about how intimate God is and how much He cares about each one of us. He created every human being to glorify Him, but man turned away and a curse was given to man and to the earth. Death was introduced when man choose His own way instead of God's.
