0:00 God Didn't Speak Man Into Existence

When God created man, he didn't speak man into existence like he did creation. Did you ever think of that? God didn't speak man into existence. He spoke to himself. He said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fishes in the sea, over the fowl of the air, and every creeping thing that moved upon the earth."

But he didn't speak man into existence. He said, "Let us create man." And then in Genesis chapter two, verse seven, it says, "And God formed man from the dust of the ground." And I love this. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul. So God created man in his infinite imagination, then molded a body for the man that he created and breathed the man that he created into the body that he cre ated for the man. And the only thing that God created that he gave language to is man.

He didn't give language to creation, not the ability to talk about complex and intangible subjects. He didn't give it to creatures except potentially, ostensibly, the Serpent which he took away later. Not gonna go into the long, arduous argument about that cause it's not relevant to what we're talking about today. But he gave us words.

1:34 God Gave Us Words

Why did God give us words? He didn't make us by word, but he gave us words. He didn't give dogs words. You ever think of that? He didn't give trees words. He didn't give birds words except for the talking parakeet, and they can only repeat what they've heard and only some of them can do that.

But like human beings, everybody in here, all y'all I'm looking at. The ones I'm looking at on YouTube, which you're typing stuff. We can talk. Not only can we speak words, we can type words. We can write words. We can read words. We can understand words. We think with words.

2:10 Words are Everything

Words are our everythingness.

Words are what we have in common with God, that creation and creatures don't have. Language is spiritual and it's something that only spiritual beings have. It's so powerful. So powerful. With words I can take a feeling from inside of me and install that feeling inside of you. With words.

You can take a feeling inside of you and install it inside of me. With words. If I've got a word of encouragement for you and I keep it from you, shame on me. Shame on me. Withhold not good for whom it is due when it's in the power of your hand to do it.
