"So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." - Genesis 1:27 (NLT)
The Bible begins by telling us that God created the world and everything in it. This includes you and me! It doesn’t take us very long in the story to read that God not only created us, but he made human beings in his own image. We were made in the image of a good, holy, and loving God. Do you realize what this means?
It means that our lives matter! We were uniquely designed and created for a purpose! And, every day we have the opportunity to reflect God’s image. We can be creative because God is the Creator! We can be loving because God is love! We can do good in the world because God is good!
As you play Lightgliders, you will learn that our number one goal is to respect ourselves and each other. We seek to do this because of what Genesis 1:27 says. Everyone bears God’s image and, therefore, has dignity given to them by God. When we respect others, we are honoring the One in whose image others were made.
What is the evidence in your life that you bear the image of God?
