It’s <strong>Complicated</strong>: <strong>Exploring</strong> Life Difficulties and Finding Divine Serendipity<br />
(7) Human beings are introduced as made in the<br />
image of God. That becomes a major theme that runs<br />
right through the entire Scripture. God makes human<br />
beings in his own image and likeness so that in some ways<br />
they are very much like the rest of creation — made by<br />
God out of the dust. And in other ways they are unique<br />
and it would be well worth our while to tease out some<br />
of the things that are bound up with this notion of the<br />
image of God. On the one hand, as God’s creation, we are<br />
supposed to reflect God. We are his image. On the other<br />
hand, we too belong to the dust. We are made from the<br />
dust. We are part of the created order and not to be<br />
confused with God. So this sort of created order is<br />
extraordinarily important.<br />
