Made in God's Image

Preacher: Stephen Conley Series: Genesis Topic: God's Image Scripture: Genesis 1:26–31

Text:  Genesis 1:26-31

As God’s Image-Bearers, We Represent Him on the Earth (1:26-27)

  • God made us after His image and likeness, distinct from the rest of creation.
  • God made us male and female for His glory.
  • Implication: Our value and identity are tied to bearing the image of God. Therefore, we should seek after Him and bear His image in a way that pleases Him.

As God’s Image-Bearers, We Fill and Rule Over the Earth (1:26b, 28-30) 

  • God has given us the responsibility of reproducing His image on the earth.
  • God has provided us with sustenance from His creation and given us the responsibility of dominion over His creation.
  • Implication: This blessing and commission God has given us should lead us to delight in Him and depend upon Him.

Conclusion: “God saw that it was very good.” (1:31)

  • All that God made was good in His sight, with nothing incomplete or imperfect.
  • All of creation worked in perfect harmony as God had designed.
