Adam and Eve were created _holy, without any blemish and sin._ They _knew_ and _loved God,_ their Creator, and lived according to His holy will. Truly, man is the _foremost of all of God's visible creatures._ God has made all men; therefore I confess, He made _me._ 2. _"I believe,"_ I know it to be true from the Word of God, _"that God made me." He has made me by giving me body and soul._ True, God did not make me as He made Adam, by forming my body out of the dust and breathing the breath of life into my nostrils. He made me by giving me body and soul through my parents. Nevertheless it is true that God has made me, that my body and my soul are _the gift of God,_ my heavenly Father. I confess: _"The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life."_ Job 33,4. 3. How wonderfully did God make me! _"He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members, my reason and all my senses."_ Consider how beautifully and wonderfully God made your body. He gave you _eyes_ and _ears._ You can _see_ and _hear;_ you can see all the great works of Go, the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the animals and plants, the mighty mountains and the vast seas. You can see your fellow-men, your friends and parents, and hear their voices, hear their words that instruct and console you. You ca read your Bible and hear the preaching of God's Word. He gave you not only eyes and ears, but _all the members of your body_--your mouth so that you are able to talk to your friends and parents and make known your needs and wishes; your feet and hands for your work.--We are wonderfully made. God has given you a _soul,_ and He has endowed it with _reason,_ and has given you _all your senses._ You are able to _think_ about the great work of God that surround you, to try to understand what they are and for what purpose God created them, You are able to understand all that God tells you in His Word about Himself, His will, and His grace, and thus to know Him. You are able to _feel_ His goodness, His fatherly love and mercy. Surely we must say: _"I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well."_ Ps. 139,14.
