Jesus, Son of Man came to the earth preaching the good news the time of the foretold “Kingdom of God” had arrived and that hearers should “repent and believe” His message. Then, without apology or point by point explanation through theological treatise, He did something remarkable today. He went purposely seeking fishermen He had previously met and commanded them: ‘“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men,’” (Mark 1:14-20, NKJV). Why did He make men a priority? Not because of humanly invented Jewish culture, sexism or any other reason originating with fallen man, but God, the design of His creature, order and purposes of mankind!1
In this 17th year of the 21st century, I continue to write as the Lord has led to instruct, appeal to and warn the churches now rebelling with the world against His design, order and purposes of mankind and undergoing judgment as a result, to repent! For though the Lord Jesus knowing the future later had His apostles explain about God’s design of man, His order and purposes of mankind to mostly ignorant Gentiles, no such explanation was necessary for 1st century Jews who honored the Scriptures and knew men are God’s chosen leaders in the home, larger community and nation. They were not ashamed to be the descendants of patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob either!
For them, it was no random event that caused the first human creature to be a man. He came to be as the purposeful, creative act of God! The fact this truth offends many women and their sympathizers as feminists today is not a product of enlightened progress, but rejection of God and His Word inspired by Satan working deceitfully as he did in the Garden (Genesis 3:1-6). The value of men as intentionally designed by God is being lost to a world and churches pandering after it that now foolishly marginalize them. This blog, then, is the introduction of a series of four entitled, The Value Of Men I write in furtherance of God’s cause to target and restore them as did Jesus, Son of Man.
The value of something speaks of its worth and importance. The value of man is fully shown by God when from eternity, before creation, a plan was put in place to save His creature from the just consequence of foreknown, willful disobedience (1 Peter 1:13-21)! Though He made man male and female, God created the male first as the founding embodiment of the race and brought forth the female from him for him to fulfill His purposes for them (1 Corinthians 11:7-9). As I write in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics, God also made a very clear statement about His creature, will and the ruling order of mankind by creating Adam, the male first (Genesis 2:7; 1 Timothy 2:11-13)!2
Indeed, the value of man to God as eternal sons and rulers in the divine image and likeness is declared at his creation (Genesis 1:26-28). Only the first man’s disobedience leading to the penalty of death temporarily delayed fulfillment of his eternal destiny until Christ, the second Adam came to make redemption possible for those of Adam’s seed that would repent and believe on Him! In the Bible as in my book and three part blog, Jesus, Son Of Man, under the category, The Cause drawn from both, I am led by the Father to exalt His Son as the complete fulfillment of the divine design, eternal purpose and plan for man the creature.
Even so, the mortal body (to include brain function and hormonal make up) of the fallen first man showcased his assignment to govern beginning with the earth and its creatures followed by his wife taken out of him and their children after he initiated their existence (Genesis 2:15, 18-25, 3:20, 4:1). A relative few experienced God’s grace by having a heart to please Him and do His will (Genesis 4:2-10, 6:5-12). And despite regularly judging their sins, under His sovereign oversight God permitted men with natural drive (passion, ambition) and talents divinely bestowed to build great cities, empires, civilizations, roads, walls and monuments, tangibly invent the ideas of their minds from and conquer the earth as well as reach for the stars (Genesis 4:16-22, 6:13-22, 11:1-9)!
While sin had corrupted men and tarnished the perfect divine image and likeness within each, only because of being made in it with a divinely designed body, have they aspired to be and do great things as does their Creator (Genesis 1:31). Compelled by the predominate hormone, testosterone in their bodies, men have begotten progeny in abundance, spread across the earth and risked all to pursue greatness! They have relished solving problems leading to ingenious technological innovation. Their willingness to die for a cause and follow leaders into battle with amazing displays of strength and courage is legendary as is their sacrificial care for a fallen brother. Truly, the historical value of men designed by God to humanity is immense and cannot be overstated!
1 Consider this truth further in two multi-part blogs from early 2017 also under the category, The Cause and entitled, In God’s Revival Men Are Restored and Jesus, Son Of Man.
