Man, God's cherished creation...

[aissy]

From my understanding, Man is God's most beloved, prized creation because of the potential 'corruptibility' of Man's spirit via free will. Man, through freedrom of choice, always has the ability to further God's Plan or to go against it when confronted with a decision in any matter in life; the former statement is the reason why God loves Man over all other creations, as far as I know.

The evidence to backup my conjecture above may be found in religious texts but I can't recall with clarity where I read it.

Can anyone shed some light on this topic and/or disclose the religious text where this can be affirmed?

Sincerely........aissy
