Adam was made of the dust of the earth, for in Genesis 2:7 it tells us, “The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.”  Now this shows just how fragile we are, for without God intentionally filling our lungs with breath day in and day out, we are just a lifeless being.  And when there’s no longer that spark of life within…our body returns to where we came.
