TRANSCRIPT
LESSON 4“THE
SPIRITUAL ANATOMY OF A CHRISTIAN”
1. Man was a unique creation of God, set apart from the rest of His
creation. Man alone was given a “spirit”, through which he can know God.
Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7
