Biblical Worldview : People Are Created The Image Of God

In Genesis one and 2, it provides a full understanding of God’s creations and wisdom of human nature because it is free from evil. God created everything from nothing; to be perfect from his perspective. Human nature is revealed from Genesis one with God creating the Earth and the Heavens and creating the man of his likeness. The Bible explains how God created the man named Adam from the dust and was placed in the Eden’s Garden (Genesis 2:7). Adam helped God to take care of the land and all his creation. The Bible explains, Humanity was created to work and serve, keep the garden (Genesis 2:15). Subsequently, Eve was created; “God had created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve would help God because He wanted them to multiply the Earth by taking care of his creations (Hiles & Smith, 2014). God is the sovereign ruler which he created humanity as how he should have wanted. The Bible explains about human nature that God created everything to be distinct from animals and all His creation. Humankind is able to show on our nature because we are capable of reasoning. God created all differently and we were all born naked and pure as Adam and Eve were. God created in his own image that why we all look different; we are unique in His eyes. Also, God created us to be good because we are born innocent of all evil and loving God.

Humans were created in Gods image. In Genesis 1-2, human beings are created to live and take care of what God has formed. God placed Adam, and then Eve, on earth. He created them from the dust of the earth. God spoke to Adam and gave him all the animals to name. Adam was also given the task of tending to and growing the Garden of Eden. Human nature is confirmed to be obedient to God and his word. (Bible - ESV, Genesis 1-2) God wanted human nature to be kind, just, obedient, good, faithful, etc. Gods ultimate creation was human life.

1: 5-10), God gave the same authority to Adam to name the leaving creatures that were Gods creations. He even named the woman created from the bone of his rib (Gen. 2: 22-23). Also, the command of not eating from the tree of life and the tree of knowledge was given to Adam without the presence of woman (Gen. 2: 16-17), meaning the male had the important role of passing this message to the female.

Man, unlike all other animals, was the only one created in God’s image. He gave man authority over all

He created them male and female, blessed them and said, ‘ Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control’ ” – Genesis 1:27-29 (Bible Gateways).

Though typically not recognized by Christians, the Book of Genesis contains two, contradictory creation accounts. Genesis begins with the first account in which God creates humans, both male and female, after he finishes creating other beings—animals. Contrary, in the proceeding account God made one human, Adam, and then created other creatures, like animals, in order to find Adam a proper helpmeet. When none of the animals prove to be sufficient partners for Adam, God takes one of Adam’s ribs out and creates woman—Eve.

he Bible says that man is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Because of this, man has a certain dignity and was given dominion over the rest of creation (Genesis 1:26). The image of God in man also means that murder is a most horrific crime. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, / by man shall his blood be shed; / for in the image of God / has God made man” (Genesis 9:6). The severity of the punishment underscores the severity of the offense. The Mosaic Law is full of examples of how God expects everyone to be treated humanely. The Ten Commandments contain prohibitions against murder, theft, coveting, adultery, and bearing false testimony. These five laws promote the ethical treatment of our fellow man. Other examples in the Law include

God created us, in His image, so that we could fellowship with Him, but he also created a woman, so that man would have lifetime companionship. You see, Gods plans are always for the eternal, and not the temporal that we are so used to. He created man for woman, and woman for man, to live in a relationship as one flesh, (Gen 2:24), much like He desires to be in a deep marriage-like relationship with us. In the end, it starts with God desire for a relationship with us, Him creating us, giving us a means of relationship with each other, and then fighting for that relationship both with us and each other as time goes on. The book The Institute of Marriage goes as far as to state that “That companionship achieves its realization, according to v. 24, the union of husband and wife as ‘one flesh’. Male and female taken separately are incomplete; each naturally tends toward the other”. What a beautiful picture of what we are promised in Christ realized in the first few chapters of the Holy Bible. From this relationship, in terms of the text, we then see the birth of civilizations

There are times in our lives when we must face some battles we think we cannot win. When such occurs, God by his Spirit gives you the victory.

In Genesis 1:26-27 the author states, “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” This is the first account of man being created in the Bible. Genesis goes on the say in chapter 3, verse 20 that man’s name was Adam which translate to man in Hebrew. Christians say that because God created man, all men have a purpose in life: to glorify God in all they do. C.S. Lewis explains, “Where a God who is totally purposive and totally foreseeing acts upon a Nature which is totally interlocked, there can be no accidents or loose ends, nothing whatever of which we can safely use the word ‘merely.’ Nothing is ‘merely a by-product’ of anything else. All results are intended from the first.” In Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” This is God’s first command to man, giving him a purpose. God created man to rule over the land and animals and to be fruitful and multiply (fill the

So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

In Genesis, God created the world by simply speaking it into existence. God fabricated man in His own image, setting man above the rest of creation. Mankind was the finishing touch on God’s creation, and God said that creation was completed with the existence of man. The Bible reveals how God desires an intimate relationship with man, since God, Adam, and Eve walked with each other in the cool of the day (Genesis 3:8, NIV).

God is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He created the expanse of the sky down to the tiniest cell. He created man distinct from the rest of His creation. God created man in his own image and likeness and gave him dominion over the rest of His creation. The Bible affirms this in Genesis 1:26, “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’” Humans were created in God’s image, yet after the fall occurred, this image was severely distorted. The image of God in us will be completely restored when Jesus comes again for His church. “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” Throughout church history, theologians have debated what being

“God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth." 29 God also said: "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food; 30 and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for food." And so it happened. 31 God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed - the sixth day.”

Throughout history, many scientists and occult or religious groups have tried to convince us that human beings originated from evolution and some other sources. The bible clearly told us that the beginning of human beings and life originated from God, the creator of all existing. In Him we were created after His image and likeness. The bible told us that “all flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of humans, and another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds (1 Corinthians 15:39). According to the amplified bible, it wrote “And He made from one (common origin, one source, one blood) all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined (their) allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlement, lands, and abodes), so that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:26-27). In the King James Version, it wrote “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation: For in him we live, and move, and have our beings; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring (Acts 17:24-30). God told Jeremiah, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; and before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a
