- Q. How did God create man?
- A. God created man, male and female, in His own image and in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, to rule over the other creatures.
Memory Verse(s)
- “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27,ESV).
Scripture
- Study Passage: Genesis 1:26-2:25
- Support Passages: Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 23:43; Matthew 10:28; Daniel 7:15; I Corinthians 15:45-54; 2 Corinthians 5:1-10; Philippians 1:23-24; Colossians 3:10; Ephesians 4:24
- Bible Story: Genesis 1:26-30, 2:15-25; Man and woman were made perfect without sin.
Thoughts
- Mankind is created special; no other created thing is made in the image of God. This means there are aspects about mankind that are similar but not as complete or powerful as God’s. For example, we like God can make decisions, have dominion over creation, are social, express emotion, have an intellect, can reason, our spirit is immortal, and we are creative. In addition we can express limited amounts of love, truth, justice, and mercy.
- Mankind was created without sin. Before the fall of man Adam and Eve were right with God and holy. As a result of sin man has lost that position requiring the redeeming blood of Christ to place us back into the state of righteousness and holiness.
Discussion Questions
- Why is human life so sacred?
- What does it mean that mankind is created in the image of God?
- Is anything else created in the image of God?
- Spiritually speaking, how was mankind created?
- What does it mean that Adam and Eve were righteous and holy?
- What does it mean to rule over the other creatures?
- How can we do this today?
