A Man

Below is what God says about being a Man. 

Genesis 1:27-28 

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 2:7

Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis 2:15 

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 

Genesis 5:1

When God created mankind, he made them in the likeliness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” when they created. 

Numbers 30:2

If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all the proceeds out of his mouth. 

Job 28:28

And he said to man, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and his law he meditates day and night. 

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, not sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. 

Proverbs 12:2

A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of evil devices he condemns. 

Proverbs 18:24

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. 

Proverbs 29:25

The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. 

Ecclesiastes 12:13

The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 

Isaiah 56:1-2

Thus says the Lord: Keep justice, and do righteousness, for soon my salvation will come, and my righteousness be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil. 

Matthew 4:19

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." 

Acts 11:24

He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. 

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

Titus 1:6-9

if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. 

Titus 2:2

Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance. 

Titus 2:6-8

Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may not be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us. 

1 Timothy 3:2-5

Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.  He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 

1 John 2:6

whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
