神创造人的方法
神用地上的尘土造成人体，使人有身体作外面的表现，也作接触物质界的器官。神造人是用尘土，不是用金子。金子不能产生生命。你若把种子撒在金子里，你是糟蹋种子。然而尘土却能长出生命。你若把种子撒在尘土里，种子就生长。
我们的身体是用尘土造成的，作我们外面的表现。我有空的时候，喜欢对镜看自己，特别看我的脸。我越看自己，就越确信我是神造的。全宇宙中没有一个人能造出这么美妙的活物来。美国汽车的样式每年都会改进、变更，却没有人能改进人的设计。我们的耳朵设计得很完美来听声音。若是把身上各肢体的位置重新摆置一下，那就非常难看。如果鼻子生在额上，而且鼻孔朝上，可怎么办？雨水和灰尘都要进到鼻子里了。神刻意设计鼻孔朝下，只有空气可以进入。
将生命之气吹进人的鼻孔里
神将生命之气吹进人的鼻孔里，使人有灵，作为接受神的接收器，并作为接触神和一切属灵事物的器官（约四24，罗一9）。在收音机里有接收器，一旦接收器坏了，无线电波就无法通过。照样，我们的身体是外部的容器，而在我们里面有神所造的灵，作为接受神这属天电波的接收器。藉这器官我们就可以接触属灵的事物。我用手碰黑板，用鼻子闻味道，用眼睛看颜色，用耳朵听声音。这一切物质界的东西，都可以用身体的感官来实化。在宇宙中也有属灵的事物。在宇宙中有神，而神是灵。我们不能用肉身的感官实化祂。我们若因无法用肉身的方法实化神，就否认祂的存在，那真是太愚昧了。大气中虽然密布着无线电波，我们若没有接收器，就不能实化电波。照样，我们若没有正确的接收器，就是我们人的灵，也不能实化神。我们的灵若是失了功用，就不能感受到神。所以我们必须调整我们的灵，运用我们的灵来接触神。

God Formed Man’s Body with the Dust of the Ground — Gen. 2:7
The Way that God Formed Man
God formed man’s body with the dust of the ground that man may have a body as his outward expression and as an organ to contact material things. God made man with dust, not with gold. Gold cannot produce life. If you sow seed into gold, you will waste the seed. Dust, however, can grow life. If you sow seed into the dust, the seed will grow.
Our body was formed out of dust to be our outward expression. When I have spare time, I’d like to look at myself in the mirror, especially examining my face. The more I look at myself, the more I am convinced that I was made by God. No other person in the whole universe can fashion such a wonderful creature. The style of American cars may be improved and changed every year, but no one can improve the design of a human being. Our ears have been perfectly designed for listening. How awkward it would be if the members of our body were relocated! What would happen if our nose were placed upon our forehead and turned upward? The rain and the dust would come in. God purposely designed the nose to be turned downward so that only air may enter in.
To Breath into Man’s Nostrils the Breath of Life
God breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life that man may have a spirit as the recipient for him to receive God and as an organ to contact God and the spiritual things (John 4:24; Rom. 1:9). Within a transistor radio, there is a receiver. When this receiver is damaged, the radio waves cannot get through. Likewise, our body is an outward container and within us is a spirit made by God as a receiver to receive God as the heavenly radio waves. By means of this organ we may contact spiritual things. I contact a blackboard with my hand. I contact odors with my nose, colors with my eyes. I substantiate sounds with my ears. All these material things can be substantiated by the senses in our physical body. In the universe there are also spiritual things. There is God in this universe, and God is Spirit. We cannot substantiate Him through our physical senses. It is foolish to deny the existence of God because we cannot substantiate Him in a physical way. Although there are many radio waves in the atmosphere, we cannot substantiate them without a receiver. Likewise, we cannot substantiate God without the proper receiver, our human spirit. If our spirit does not function well, we will be unable to sense God. We need to tune our spirit. We need to exercise our spirit to contact God.
