Created in the Image of God

Every human life possesses meaning, value, and dignity because every person is created in the image of God. In this weekend reflection from Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how Genesis 1:27 provides the foundation for a biblical understanding of human identity. Our identity is not ultimately determined by cultural labels, personal experiences, accomplishments, or outward characteristics. It is rooted in the God who created us. Sin has distorted how people understand themselves and treat others, but the gospel renews believers according to God's design. Understanding the image of God helps Christians recognize their God-given purpose and treat every person with dignity.
