Volume 36 #1 – January

Have you ever wondered why we feel like things should be fair? Where does the idea of fairness come from? We believe things should be fair because we have been made in the image of God. The Bible explains that when God created the first humans, Adam and Eve, they were not like animals. They were God’s very special creatures who were made in God’s image (read Genesis 1:26-27). Of course, humans are not all-powerful or eternal like God, so what does it mean to be made in God’s image? It means that humans can do some things like God can. Humans can love, because God is all loving. Humans can think and reason, because God thinks and reasons. Humans are moral and can know the difference between right and wrong, because God is moral and He always does what is right.
