Created in the Image of Love
The first truth spoken over humanity was not about performance. It was about identity: we were created to reflect the nature of Love.
Scripture
Genesis 1:26–27
World English Bible (Public Domain)26God said, ‘Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’
27God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
Where have you been looking for identity?
What is an image?
Genesis is not describing physical resemblance. God is Spirit. An image reveals and reflects the one whose image it bears.
If God is love, then humanity was created with the capacity to love, create, forgive, give life, and enter relationship. Our deepest design is rooted in His nature.
The first truth spoken over humanity was not about performance. It was about identity: we were created to reflect the nature of Love.
