Creative image of God

Man was created in the image of God. A part of this image is the ability to create; to design and construct. God put his creativity on display in the story of creation. "The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep" (Gen. 1:2). In the natural world, things were really bad. But God had an idea. Beyond the oceans, mountains and the crown of his creation, that is man. God constructed what he saw in his mind, and it turned out to be very beautiful.

It is quite interesting to note that God stopped direct construction of the earth after he made man. From that point on, it was man's business to create and recreate. The basic foundation was laid. However, man lost a substantial proportion of his ability to create when Adam and Eve sinned. We lost the creative image of God.

Thank God that the whole process of decadence has been reversed. The death and resurrection of Christ dealt a final blow on the problem of sin. The image of God has been restored to man through Jesus Christ. We can continue with our assignment of designing and onstructing the other things God had in mind but which he left for us since the initial creation.
