Our image matters because God created us as male and female. He created us in His image as famine and masculine. Both are aspects of who God is. He did not make a mistake in making you who you are. Who you are has value because God made you special, just as you are.
What you do with the body, mind, and soul that He gave you is your responsibility. It should reflect your personal relationship with Him. He has a high perspective on humans and we need to learn to align our perspective with His. All life matters.
Your spiritual relationship with God is unique. It is only available to humans and then narrowed down to the people willing to walk in faith with Jesus. It is supernatural. It changes your nature from sin focused to God focused. This is when you start understanding God's character and that it is all good.
We should live life with seal and anger toward sin because of out relationship with God. You should enjoy life because you were created to live a full and thriving life. God is the source of all truth, so you can base your relationship on truth. He designed us to have relationship with other people to help each other honor Him and have companionship, help, and connection in this world.
Your body work with your soul. They can not be separated until the moment that your body dies. This means that you have to live with emotions that can take you all sorts of places, but it also means that you can have a full experience with worship.
You are chosen. You were a decision before the world was created to carry purpose and grace. You have dominion over all the living animals, creatures, and things. What will you do with your responsibility: ignore it, be selfish, or honor God's designation to reign over them.
God is the master of people. People are the master of the animals and the earth. It all started in the Garden of Eden where God gave Adam and Eve commands. Adam named all the animals and took care of them. It was peaceful, beautiful, and harmonious. It wasn't until Satan took advantage of Adam and Eve naivety by tempting them and them succumbing to his deception did things get twisted.
This is when Satan took over earth and declared himself the price of earth. He holds a lot of control, but we are no longer naive. We know the truth. We can do things differently. Jesus has the true domain over the earth: land, sea, sky, and animals. This includes people. He will return one day to take ownership and everything will change.
Being the special creation of God sets you apart. Choosing to follow Jesus gives you salvation, freedom from the chains of sin. It means that you bring joy to God and that you will spend eternity with Him. God created you perfect. It is sin that messes things up and messes with your head. When you see yourself, pray that you see yourself through His eyes.
