The Bible teaches that God created man in His own image, making him upright and giving him dominion over creation (Genesis 1:26-28).
According to Scripture, particularly in Genesis 1:26-28, God created man in His own image and likeness. This means that humanity was designed to reflect God's character in their rationality and ability to commune with Him. Genesis reveals that man was created upright, which signifies a state of moral correctness and righteousness. As such, Adam was not only a being with physical form but also a rational and spiritual creature endowed with the privilege to have dominion over the earth. This unique position in creation reflects the dignity that God bestowed upon humanity, establishing a close relationship between God and man.
