  4. Being Human means that: • We can think - Although other animals demonstrate advanced levels of instinct, what can humans do (thoughts-wise) that animals cannot? • We arefree– Choosing to do right rather than wrong makes us free. How does this reflect why God created us? • We can love – We can use our freedom to do good for others. To mistreat others is a misuse of freedom. • We have a God-given body–Jesus became human and the Spirit lives in us.

  5. Humans are related to others in a community. We live with ourselves as well as others, we need a healthy self-esteem to be completely comfortable with others.

  6. Relating to others means that: • We need one another – It is God’s plan that we should not be alone (Genesis) and we live interdependently. • We have a history – We have inherited all the benefits (and mistakes, as well) of the human community. • We are images of God and stewards of the Earth – We are God’s own image in the world. By using our talents and sharing God’s work in Creation, we are being fully human.

  7. Relating to others means that: • We are God’s prized Creation - We should treat everyone with equal dignity. No person is an object, they are a child of God. • We are good, but weakened by sin – We need to realize that we make mistakes, but that God forgives us and we can strive to do better.
