Have you ever wondered, “Do I really matter?” My friend, you matter because you matter to God because you are made in His image. You may think that your value simply as a person is found in your ethnicity, grades, financial status, or religious affiliation, but Genesis 1 teaches us that every person’s value as a human is that you are made in the image of God.In Genesis What makes human beings different from other creatures? What distinguishes people as being different from animals? Why are people different than dogs, trees, and apples? Though some may say that there really is no difference between people and other creatures, Genesis Our value as humans does not come from within us or around us, but above us. We have value because we have been given value by God being made in His image.
