scripture

Genesis 1:26–27

summary

Genesis 1:26–27 teaches that every human being is created in the image of God, giving all people inherent dignity, value, and purpose. Unlike the rest of creation, humanity reflects God’s character and is called to represent His rule in the world through faithful stewardship. This means every person matters equally before God, and life is not defined by status, ability, or achievement but by divine design. As image-bearers, we are called to reflect God’s goodness in how we live, relate to others, and care for creation.
