Commentary on Genesis 1:26–2:3 (Summary)

Genèse 1:26–2:3 (NEG79)

26 Puis Dieu dit: Faisons l'homme à notre image, selon notre ressemblance, et qu'il domine sur les poissons de la mer, sur les oiseaux du ciel, sur le bétail, sur toute la terre, et sur tous les reptiles qui rampent sur la terre.

Human beings have been created in God’s image in order to enjoy fellowship with him. The purpose of creation is not primarily to create a world in which human beings can live, work, and flourish. Rather, the purpose of creation is to create a world in which human beings can live and enjoy relationship with God. Human beings were thus not made for work, but for worship. Indeed, the chief end of man is to glorify God (worship) and enjoy him forever.
