Day 3

Very Good by Erika M.

 

Genesis 1:25–31

 

We find ourselves at the pinnacle of the creation story. God has just created light, sea, and sky, land and vegetation, and all living creatures. Then, God says, “Let us make man.”

 

Unlike anything He has created yet, God creates man in His own image, after His likeness, male and female. We are created as the representation of God Himself. We are His image-bearers created to love like Him, look like Him, and lead like Him.

 

And upon making man, God sees everything He created, and He says that it is very good. It isn’t just good, but VERY good. We will ultimately see that being an image-bearer gets tainted by sin, and the very goodness of God’s creation is broken.

 

But let us be reminded of the ultimate image-bearer that we have in Jesus Christ who came to restore goodness to our broken world.
