4. His being created with a soul. No other creature was created with a living soul, only man; "And man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7b). include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>5. His being placed in dominion over the earthly creation. "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth" (Genesis 1:28). include "../doctrineincs/subtitlefont.html"; ?>Image Of God include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>What is meant by the expression "the image of God"? What does it mean when we confess that "man was created in the image of God"? The word "image" in this sense refers to a reflection, resemblance, or likeness. include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>
These examples help us understand what is meant by the image of God. When God created man, He created him to reflect, to "mirror," some of His qualities on earth. Man bore a likeness to God, a resemblance of His righteous Being. |
