See Yourself as God Sees You!

I. MAN WAS CREATED IN THE

IMAGE OF GOD

God created man and saw that he

was good.
 Genesis 1: 27-31

27 So God created man in His own

image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created
them.
 28 God blessed them and said to
them, “Be fruitful and increase
in number, fill the earth and
subdue it.
Rule over the fish of the sea and the
birds of the air and over every living
creature that moves on the ground.”
 Genesis 1: 27-31
29 Then God said, “I give you every
seed-bearing plant on the face of the
whole earth and every tree that has
fruit with seed in it. They will be
yours for food.
 Genesis 1: 27-31
30 And to all the beasts of the earth
and all the birds of the air and all the
creatures that move on the ground –
everything that has the breath of life
in it – I give every green plant for
food.” And it was so.
 Genesis 1: 27 – 31
31 God saw all that he had made, and
it was very good. And there was
evening , and there was morning –
the sixth day.
Let us go back to our original
design to rule and to
manage…
(Gen. 1:26-27)

immortal God for images made to
look like mortal man and birds and
animals and reptiles.
