God made man ruler over all the other things He created - Gen. 1:26. God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul - Gen. 2:7.

Therefore man is of three parts, namely: body, soul and spirit. Man is God's ambassador on earth to take control over all other creatures on His behalf on earth. Gen. 1:26-28. God allows man to take part in His work and thereby reveal His love to mankind more than any other creatures upon the earth.
