The Origin Of The Search 17
creation, complete and perfect in the image of
God, designed to reign over all the earth (Genesis
1: 26,27). Adam's purpose was to reflect the glory
of God. Through man, God wanted to demonstrate
His holiness (Psalm 99: 3-5), love and patience (I
Corinthians 13:4), forbearance (I Corinthians 13:7),
wisdom (James 3:17), comfort (II Corinthians 1:

clothed with beauty and power, and allowed to
serve in the presence of God. Sadly, Lucifer's
pride caused him to rebel against God, and he was
cast from heaven with a third of the angels
(Isaiah 14:12-15).
Adam had been given authority over the earth,
but if he, too, rebelled against God, he would lose
his authority and perfection. He would become a
slave of Satan and sin (Romans 6:17) and a child
