QUESTIONS
What is man? What shall we think of him? What is the Christian thought
of man? Give the five points in the Christian conception of man. Man
made in the image of God; give a statement of this case. What is the
image of God? Did God make the good man, the evil man? What is the
chief end of man? What threefold obligation rests upon man to serve
and glorify God? What should be the great concern of man? What can be
said of God's measure of a man? What can be said of Jesus Christ as
the perfect physical, intellectual and moral man?
STUDY IV
THE CHRISTIAN'S FELLOW MAN
Scripture references: Luke 10:29-37; Matthew 7:12; 5:16; Luke
12:13-15; 1 Corinthians 13; Matthew 7:3-5; 5:42-49; John 21:21, 22.
MAN AND OTHER MEN
The Question of Relationship.--One of the most important questions is
that of the relation which a man shall hold to other men.
1. It is fundamental in every system of philosophy and religion. The
answers, which are given, show their widespread practical bearing in
the social, industrial and political spheres, as well as in the
religious.
2. It is imperative from the fact it demands a reply which becomes at
once the basis of action. A man, amongst men, is under the necessity
of deciding how he will conduct himself towards his fellow men.
There are many divergent opinions, in regard to the relation which a
man should sustain to his fellow man, which lead to widely divergent
courses of action and largely affect the world for good or ill.
Jesus Christ was outspoken on this matter. His words (Luke 10:29-37;
Matthew 22:36-40) go at once to the heart of the question and give its
only possible solution.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN
The Inequalities in the Lives of Men are many and far reaching. They
divide men from each other and tend, if brooded over, to make them
live lives apart, with a lessening sympathy and a growing hostility.
They pertain to race, education, business and society. They may be
natural, or artificially induced.
