A Study of the Nature of Man People are more than highly developed animals. They are spiritual beings with eternal souls. Besides being social creatures, they are ethical beings with free wills and the capacity to make meaningful choices. Chad Ramsey identifies 12 characteristics of the nature of man and helps us understand how each of these characteristics applies to both our human and spiritual natures. God - our designer - made us for a purpose: to serve Him. By learning the details of how we are made, we can learn how to use our diverse nature in a way that serves, worships and glorifies Him.
