Made in the image of God

God made man in His own image;

‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.’

Genesis 1:26

This tells us that; YOU ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD! You may not physically look like Him, but in some way you demonstrate what God is like. He wanted to reproduce, so He made humans to be like Him in some way. 

Doesn’t that just give you a WOW moment? It should! 

In your inherent being, far beyond nature, genetics or evolution, you were handcrafted to display, in some way, God’s image. God put in you part of Himself, you were created to show others what God is like. Doesn’t that just blow your mind? 

If you’ve ever wondered what your purpose in life is, or struggled with self-esteem issues then take time to consider this: God made you to display what He is like, He put something of His own self within you to show the world what He is like! Then, once He had created mankind, do you know what He said? “It is very good”, not just good or alright, but very good! God made you well and God doesn’t lie. 

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”/ 

27 So God created man in his own image,

/in the image of God he created him;/ 

/male and female he created them./ 

*/28*And God blessed them./ 

Genesis 1:26-28
