The Long Journey Home: Designed for relationship

In the creation story, God establishes by nature of his creative work the uniqueness, value and purpose of all humans.  Our value and purpose are rooted in the intentional design of our Creator who we are told in Genesis 2 shaped us, formed us and breathed His life into us. You and I are not random and not a mistake.
Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. -Genesis 2:7-8
The psalmist will expand on this in Psalm 139 when he writes: “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
