Genesis 1:27-31
“It’s just human nature!” You have often heard that excuse for someone’s bad behavior. In other words, “He’s just made that way; he cannot help it.” But here we are told that God created us “to be like Himself…very good!” As we are going to see, something went wrong, because bad behavior is not “just human nature.” The good news is that God is always ready to do what he did in the beginning. He will create you all over again “to be like himself.” You can see how Jesus explained this to a man in the New Testament (John 3:1-8).
It’s Just Human Nature!
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 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.”
God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
