David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 1 September 2021 Turning Point:
We find a similar scenario in the Genesis creation story: God created man in His own image (Genesis 1:26-27). The same word for image—tzelem—is used both for God’s image (a spiritual image) and the image in Babylon (a physical image). What was the purpose of God creating mankind in His image? Mankind was to represent God throughout God’s Kingdom, or creation. As Paul writes in Ephesians 4:24, Christians are a new creation and are “to be like God—truly righteous and holy” (NLT).
Though originally marred by sin, we have been recreated (born again) to reflect God’s righteousness and holiness. When others see us, they are to see the character of our God.
Man is a creature, because he is made by God. But he is a unique creature because he is made like God. – Edmund P. Clowney
