Life With the Spirit
Genesis 1: 26 & 27 (NLT)
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation 16 for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.

The Inspiration of Scripture
