Lets Study Together- What is Man Like?

We at Kuza want to help you grow closer to the Lord through your personal time in scripture. We hope to lead you as you study the scriptures that is why we’re creating these blogs called “Lets Study Together.” We plan to make it an ongoing thing. After you’re done studying we would love to hear what you’ve learned. Please communicate to us through one of our social media handles or via our email address below.

WHAT IS MAN LIKE?

Memorize: Isaiah 59:2

Many people wonder, “Who am I? What is my purpose? Can I find meaning in this life?” The Bible provides answers to these questions as it reveals the true value, nature and destiny of people. As God’s creation we need to have a right perspective of ourselves in line with God’s word. He created you and knows you better than you even know yourself.
