Genesis 1:26-31 | NLT

Christians should view themselves and others as special creations of God and objects of his love and concern.  Because all are made in our Lord’s image, all deserve respect, dignity, honor, and care, regardless of social status, accomplishments, etc.  Moreover, as God’s image bearers, our work is a cooperative enterprise with him.  Our work is exalted, holy, and spiritual.
