Genesis 1:26-27
“God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.”
This passage is from the opening chapters of Genesis, an ancient text describing the origins of the world and humanity. It presents God's creative act and the unique status given to humans within that creation, setting the stage for the rest of the biblical narrative.
What does being made in God's image mean for how you see yourself and your responsibilities in the world?
