My main text for this post is Genisis 1:26-31. Check it out in your bible or click the link!
What's the earliest reference in The Bible of Jesus and the Holy Spirit? Verse 26.
"Let us make make mankind in our image, in our likeness."
Either God was talking in the third person to himself or, more likely, this was the first ever conversation ever recorded and it's between God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, and that's pretty cool.
So, we were made in the image of God! This is extreme!
When God made the animals he didn't give them any responsibilities. They just had to live. But when it comes to humans God gave them all the responsibilities for his creation - in this respect God really did save the best till last. This is why we are made in the image of God.
Have you ever thought about that?
When your having a bad day, your being bullied, having to work late or just feeling down - God made you in his image!
What does that mean?
Well, so far on page 1 of The Bible God has created every single thing in the entire universe.
- Those trees outside? He created them.
- The sun in the sky? He created that.
- The birds that wake you up way too early in the morning? He created them.
- Every animal you've ever seen? He created them.
- All the billions of stars and galaxies that we can't even see, some that we don't even know about? He created them.
God is awesome and you are made in the image of awesome.

This is great! I have a testimony that we are God's greatest creation. That He created us physically but also spiritually. I know that we are literally God's children. He loves us! And has created us with many purposes. This post made me think of this really cool video about "God's Greatest Creation" ps this isn't spam, this is a really inspired and uplifting video about this subject.
