Imago Dei = the image of God in humans
If I believe in the Imago Dei, then I will see and treat humans as made in God's image.
Genesis 1:26-28 (ESV)
Then 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 birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Humans are christened with a unique dignity that separates them from the rest of creation.
The Uniqueness of Humans
1. The grand finale of creation
2. Exclusively created in God’s image
3. Exclusively given dominion over creation
4. Exclusively stated as male and female

Consequence of Imago Dei
All human life is sacred and must be protected and valued.

Genesis 9:6
“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.”
“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.”
We find our highest identity in our created value.
Psalm 139:14
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

The Imago Dei must shape how we see and treat other humans.
Galatians 6:10
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
