“What is the Man?” Power, Autonomy, Glory, and Identity in Psalm 8

“What is the Man?” Power, Autonomy, Glory, and Identity in Psalm 8

I believe the two most fundamental questions of every human are “Who am I?” and “Who are you?” We constantly ask these questions to ourselves and others. This was the case even before the Fall: the first question was answered by God (Gen. 1:26-27), and the second question was raised and answered by man (Adam): “This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh” (Gen. 2:23).

Throughout the years, I have found that most of my counseling cases, if not all, eventually touch on one topic: personal identity. While the presenting issues may vary, my counselees struggle to answer one question lingering in their hearts constantly: who am I? Although the secular world has come up with relevant concepts (i.e., identity crisis) to explain this phenomenon, it never succeeded in providing a satisfying answer to this fundamental, ontological search for who we are.

In this two-part article, we will visit Ephesians 2:10 and rethink art, creativity, and our identity. Part One explained that 1) because we are God’s handiwork, we are infinitely valuable, and 2) because we are God’s handiwork, we must be transformed into the fullness of Christ by embodying the image of God creatively.
