Bible Note: Hi Makarios, Good work in responding in patience and helpfulness. It will be good if you get a response from him for what he has in mind with his question. In my reading, what sticks with me is what MacArthur writes in his notes. "Made from dirt, a man's value is not in the physical components that form his body, but in the quality of life which forms his soul (see Job 33:4)." Job 33:4, "The Spirit of the Lord has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life. 5 Refute me if you can, Array yourselves before me, take your stand. 6 Behold, I belong to God like you; I too have been formed out of the clay."
