Ecclesiastes 6:10
Whatever one is, he has been named already, For it is known that he is man; And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.

We are ’adam - "ruddy" i. e. a human being, created from the ground of the earth with God's life breathed into us. But we are fallen in our common parents who sinned against Him, then bore children by design 'after their own kind.' So here we are reminded that is who we are at birth, yet still argue against God that we are sinners by nature. This new year offers a new chance to examine ourselves to see if there truly has been a new birth to breathe the renewed life of God in Christ by His Spirit into us. If you are only the original creation, still known as 'adam to Him, turn from that sinful man to Christ for forgiveness and new life by believing Jesus died in your place to bring you to God. You have no assurance of a 2015, but you do have today.
