underlying thought and desire to know exactly where we came from and who we are. The question of our nature begins with creation; this is also where my worldview begins. Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” In order to know our nature, we must understand the nature of the One by whom we were created.

Genesis chapter 1 is a terse overview of all creation while Genesis chapter 2 shows that God lavished very personal and particular attention on the creation of both Adam and Eve. Significantly, it was only humans of whom God said, “Let us make mankind [“human being,” not exclusively “male”] in our image, in our likeness” (1:26), “so that they…
