The human, his mission and his faith
The human belongs to the animal kingdom, but he differs from other animals in his intellect and soul. These qualities make humans the perfect creation.
The human surpasses all other earthly creatures thanks to his mental abilities because he teaches us the Holy Scripture as he is the image of God, it means that as well as the animal qualities he also has specific spiritual gifts - the intellect and soul.
And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him. (1M 1:27)
The mission of each creature depends on his specific qualities.

After this exploration of his own surroundings, he must follow the exploration of God.
The exploration of God and His attributes enables to the human to emulate God’s attributes and deeds: to love the truth, be merciful, lenient and good, etc.
