Imago Dei: Made in God’s Image

The word "image" in Hebrew is "tselem", which refers to a representation or likeness. Being made in the image of God means that humanity uniquely reflects God’s character, attributes, and authority.

As humans, we reflect this by our ability to form relationships—with God and with one another. Rationality: God is a God of order and reason, and we reflect this through our capacity for thought,...
