Self-image

Created in God’s image, humanity was made to flourish in relationship with God, one another, and creation. Yet the story of Adam and Eve explains why our world—and our own hearts—are so deeply broken. These opening chapters of Genesis reveal our extraordinary inherent dignity, the tragic reality of the fall, as well as the first glimpse of God’s plan to restore what was lost.

How do we build a healthy self-image? Where we we get a sense of purpose in life and meaning in our work? Why does it matter how we treat others? Why do we feel offended when someone disrespects us or violates our human rights? Turns out we don’t need to look any farther than the first chapter of the Bible for answers to these foundational questions.
