Image Bearing

I posted at Out of the Ordinary this morning on what it means to be made in God’s image.

The bottom line is that human beings were created with qualities that reflect God. We are copies of our maker in ways that the rest of God’s creatures aren’t. At the climax of creation, God set apart his next creative act with these words, “Let us make man in our image,” and he did exactly that. Male and female—all humankind—were created as image-bearers, and that gives us status and value above all the other creatures.
