What does the Bible say about the nature of man?

Answered in 9 sources

The Bible reveals that man is created a little lower than the angels and is made in God's image, crowned with glory and honor.

The Bible teaches that man, made in the image of God, is endowed with dignity and significance. As stated in Hebrews 2:6 and echoed in Psalm 8:4, 'What is man, that thou art mindful of him?' This highlights that amidst the grandeur of creation, God has a unique concern for humanity, granting us dominion over the works of His hands. This position reflects both our value and responsibility to steward God's creation.
