The creation of humankind in Genesis 1 is one of the most important passages in the whole bible. In it we see what God was and is again aiming for with us, the human race. We’re not a cosmic disappointment. We’re the pinnacle of his creation. He loves us and he saw that we are very very very good!
We are not God’s slaves (like in Babylonian mythology) we aren’t created to serve him, we are created to be him - an extension of his presence and power in the world. We are given extraordinary position and influence in the world. Through Jesus, God has redeemed, restored and ultimately recommissioned us to be his vice-regents on earth. Every single one of us has an identity and a calling from the King of Heaven. So allow him to breath his royal life into us once again.
