The Humility and Dignity of Man
Genesis 2:7
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.


"The Lord God formed man," etc.

I. THEN MAN OUGHT NOT TO INDULGE A SPIRIT OF PRIDE.

II. THEN MAN OUGHT NOT TO INDULGE A SPIRIT OF HOSTILITY TO GOD. Shall we contend with our Maker, the finite with the infinite?

III. THEN MAN SHOULD REMEMBER HIS MORTALITY. "Unto dust shalt thou return."

(J. S. Exell, M. A.)
