Being made in the image of God makes us unique and our relationship with Him is obviously a special one. Humankind appears to have taken a singular place in the order of things and in some important way being in God’s image has given us an inborn sacred dignity.
Like the creator God, being in His image means we also are in control of His environment. Being in His image means we are often outraged when we see violations of God’s will in the treatment of living things, whether they be plant (tropical rain-forests) animal, or human and as His representatives here on earth we are duty bound to care for and to rule over his creation in a manner that is pleasing to him.
Being in God’s image means we should reflect the good graces that are included in God’s character like love, goodness and kindness. However man has fallen and has turned everyone to their own way and in the process have become less God like. However Christ was also made in the image of God and he is the way, the truth and the life. Following Him will bring us back again to God so that we can be more like Him and once again be in His image.
(Read Ephesians chapter 4.)
