Genesis 1:27 New International Version (NIV)
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
We are made in God's image. Not just the man. Not just the
woman. Both male and female are made in God's image! Incredibly, this is not
just true before the Fall. When God made us in the womb of our mothers (Psalm
139:13-16), he made us in his image (Genesis 9:6). Because people are precious
to God, because we reflect something of the character of our Creator, each
person is to be valued. None is to be denigrated, belittled, or cursed (James
3:9-12). People are precious, not only to God, but also to us because in some
special way they reflect his image.
Thoughts for today:
Do I consider my reflection?
