How and Why Did God Create Us? God created us male and female in his image to glorify him. This is the fourth question in the New City Catechism and we are going to answer this question over two videos.How we answer this question of origin will direct how we sort through a whole host of other questions relating to our biology, our identity and our sense of self. Because of how important this question is, we want to give ample time to discuss the answer in our youth ministry. This comes from Genesis 1:27 “God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.” (NET) This is the memory for this question if you would like to memorize it. But you can also explore a more full picture of creation by reading Genesis 1 and 2. Particularly for students it is important to know that the Bible helps us to navigate questions that pertain to biology and gender. The Biblical worldview sees the whole person (biology included) as sacred. Understanding our identity as being children of God, created in his image, helps us to navigate some very challenging questions.
