The uniqueness of our humanity is that you and I have a soul.
Only man kind have a soul, angels, demons and animals do not have a soul. There is one creature in the whole universe that is made according to the image and likeness of God, it is YOU!! MAN!
The human soul comprises of 3 things, 1. Mind - you reason, conceptualize 2 Will- you choose, you make decision, you make up your mind 3. Emotions - you feel and desire.
It is your human soul that gives us unique, individual personality. It is our soul that makes us so similar to God in His likeness and that makes Him so excited to fellowship with us and relate with us. So even in our fallen sinful state, our humanity is something so precious to God that makes Him want to redeem us. God never send Jesus to redeem Satan when he is fallen, not even angels, not animals. Jesus sent by God to redeem us, MAN.
Although Jesus was God He did not come "in the form of God." -not with wings like angel or animal. He came in the appearance and likeness of a man. 83 times, Jesus Christ called Himself " the Son of Man" God loves us so much, he identify himself with us as a man.
1 Tim 2:5-6
For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
When He came 2000 years ago, Jesus took on our human nature. And forever that human nature is now a part of Him. Jesus has forever and ever and ever become the God-man forever.
God have a mission to restore and redeem us, a human's soul.
Psalm 23:1,3
The Lord is my shepherd. He restores my soul.
Jeremiah 31:25
For I have satisfied the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
To be human is a beautiful, wonderful thing! God does not want us to degrade ourselves into thinking that we are no better than animals. A human nature that is free from sin is a beautiful gift from God. Living a healthy, balances human life is necessary if we want to become "ambassadors of Christ" in society.
