"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" (Ps. 8:4.) The Psalmist, who spoke these words, was aware of God's majesty and of His bountiful gift to His creation. He was also aware that God has given dominion to man.
Today many who do not understand or who are unaware of man's perfect spiritual being as the image and likeness of perfect God, seek in vain for a satisfactory explanation of the complex riddle of material existence. "Why are we here? What purpose is served by living?" they ask.
Uncertainty as to the purpose of being arises from the false conviction that life is material and mortal. From that premise no satisfactory conclusion can be reached as to true being. In fact, the belief that life and being are mortal and material leads only to inharmony and dismay.
