In God's Image

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

In these verses we see an incredible thought.  In verse 26 God said "Let us".  We see in these two Words the trinity.  The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  All three are one God.  One God manifested in three different personalities.  How were they to make God?  In the image of God and after the likeness of God.  The God is a trinity, three parts.  Man has three parts body, soul and spirit.  We are created in the image and likeness of God.  God's command is that we have dominion over the animals of the earth.  The animals are in subjection or under our rule.  In verse 27 we see the fulfillment of the command given in verse 26.  God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

God didn't have to use some primordial ooze and some supposed spark to turn nothing into life.  God just took the dust of the earth formed it into man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.  Then he took a rib from the sleeping man and formed the first woman.  God who simply stepped out into nothingness and spoke the universe into existence by the power of His Word would have no problem creating man or woman.
