Genesis 1:26-28
On day six of the creation of the world, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” (v.26). “So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (v.27). “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” (v.28).
Recall that God is purposeful in all His doings, and He had a purpose for creating man. He wanted a people to be in a committed relationship with Him. So, He created them male and female in His image, after His likeness. God blessed them, and commanded them to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. He has a holy nature, and He commanded that the crown jewel of His creation be holy. “Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy” (Lev.19:2). He entrusted them to represent Him spiritually in this earthly realm and gave them charge of everything He made, putting all things under their authority (Ps. 8:6 NLT).
