The story of the Bible begins with the origin story of our world. The author is answering the question that has intrigued people for generations: How did it all begin? The answer is that our world began with God,  who is the main character of the story of Scripture.  Genesis 1 also contains our origin story. People were created by God in his image and likeness.  John Calvin explains that “man resembles him and that in him God’s glory is contemplated, as in a mirror.” Most significant of all, the image of God in man involves our creation for an identity in communion with our Maker.
