Image of God
Then God said, ""Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.Those verses were taken from Genesis 1:26-27, well those are just some powerful words. I think those might be the greatest verses in the bible. That is one example of an Image of God, it represents Him as a Creator. There are many different Images of God. I've picked out the ones that I think are the most important. Another verse that shows God as a Creator is Genesis 1:1, and it say, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. God has shown me this side of him, by creating me. I was created by him so this image hits very close to home for me and every other living organism in the universe. God as our Producer, this is shown in many verses of the bible, such as: Psalms 100:3 where it says; Know that the LORD, He is God, it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and The sheep of His pasture. This verse not only shows God as a Producer, it also shows God as a She
pherd. Another verse which shows God as our Producer is Psalms 119:73 which states; Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. This is another great example of how God is our Producer. Now I don't want to bore you so I will only list one more example of how God is our Producer. In Ephesians 2:10 it says; For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. God has produced so much for me. Not only did he produce me, he produced my mom, my dad, and every thing that we know of today. God is shown in our bible as a Progenitor. As shown in 2 Corinthians 3:18; But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Ephesians 4:24 also shows God as a Progenitor, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Colossians 3:10 is another example of how God is shown as a Progenitor; and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. In Encarta it also talks about the Jewish image of God. you don't have to be a certain faith to have an image of God. The Jews had many images of God, here are a few of them. God of Anger, God of Jealous, God of Righteousness, God of Justice, God of Mercy, God of Truth, and God of Faithfulness. That is just to name
