This past Sunday, we continued pt. 3 in the Create series with Eric’s teaching on "The Image of God". In Genesis 1:26-27, we learn that humans are made in God's image and likeness. The Hebrew terms for "image" (Tzelem) and "likeness" (Demut) show that while we're not divine like God, we do resemble Him in qualities like reason, creativity, relational capacity, moral awareness, and the ability to make decisions. Every person, regardless of background, has inherent worth because of this divine likeness—something that's central to the Christian worldview.
Given that humanity is created in God's image, humans share in God's creative nature. Artists, musicians, writers, and creators are reflecting God's creativity when they create works that bring beauty, truth, and life into the world. Through creativity, people are invited to reflect the nature of the Creator, engaging in acts of imagination and innovation that also speak to God's beauty and order.
“Artists in the last century have been functioning in society to reveal brokenness; in this century, can they lead the way toward reconnection, reconciliation and reintegration?”
-Makoto Fujimura, Culture Care
