“The Image and Imitation of God” As imagebearers we are to imitate the image­Maker. 1. Personal ­ image bearers possess God-­given qualities to be used in a God-­like way. 2. Societal — image bearers possess God-­given authority to be exercised in a God-­like way. 3. Religious — image bearers possess God ­given responsibility to pattern their lives in a God­like way. - Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:26 - ­2:3
