Why are we the way we are?
Why do we constantly want greater knowledge?
Why are we always seeking more control?
Why do we continually make and pursue new
things?
Why do we paint pictures... compose songs... grow gardens... and build buildings?
Why have the arts and sciences... along with technology... becomes such huge fields of interest?
... Because
God made us in His image (Gen.1:26)...
... And since God is Creator and King, we who bear His likeness also create and rule.
As fallen people, we often use our powers to create and rule selfishly... even maliciously... to make a name for ourselves and promote our own
glory.
But in Christ, we can live faithfully as His image-bearers...
To build His kingdom wherever He calls us...
For the glory of His
name.
