What value does Genesis 1:26-27 place on every human being?

What value does Genesis 1:26-27 place on every human being?
  • Intrinsic value: Our humanity alone, rather than our capacities or abilities, makes us valuable to God.
  • Equal value: All people, male and female, from every “tribe and tongue” throughout the ages are equal.
  • Exceptional value: Human beings are more valuable than anything else in creation.
  • Eternal value: As image bearers of the eternal God, we possess a special dignity and eternal destiny.
