Man as the Image of God. The unity of our race is rooted in the fact that every member of the human race is an image bearer. Every person we meet, no matter their particular ethnicity (or mixture of ethnicities), represents God’s best handiwork.

Labor and Rest. To be an image bearer means that we image God in important ways. One way that we image God is through labor.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen. 1:26–27)
