A Special Creation

Genesis 1:24

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it was so.

Genesis 1:27

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Mankind is not a special creation. But rather Mankind has the potential to become a special creation.

Romans 8:11

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

A man or a woman becomes a special creation when His Spirit comes to dwell in them.

And any man or woman who does not have His Spirit dwelling in them is nothing more than another beast of the earth.

John 1:12

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

A man or a woman becomes a child of God when they come to believe in His name.

And any man or woman who does not believe in His name is nothing more than another beast of the earth.

So…

Does His Spirit dwell in you?

Are you a special creation (or just another beast of the earth)?
