Creation Moment 9/21/2020 - Formation of "The Living Soul"

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2: 7

"God took a portion of the dust of the earth, wrought it into the form of a man, and by a process of organization, of which we can form no conception, made it flesh. 

All the organs of the body were there, 

fashioned for their different uses. 

They were all ready for action, but there was no life. 

Then God breathed into the man’s nostrils the breath of life, with its

vitalizing, life-giving power, and man became a living soul. 

This body, before inert and helpless, became a living, moving power. The heart began to beat, and the life current flowed through all its channels; the lungs began their work, and the process of breathing appeared; the nerves assumed their office, and the man began to feel; the muscles were quickened, and he began to move; the brain acted, and he began to think and manifest that intelligence by which he could understand the instructions of his Maker, and exercise his will to do his bidding. Thus treated “man became a living soul.”

Uriah Smith
