What does it mean to be human? Some would say being human means we’re flawed. Whenever they make a mistake they say, “Hey, I’m only human.” The bible gives a clear answer to the question, “What does it mean to be human,” in the creation narrative. Being human means we are created in God’s image.

Genesis 1:27 NASB “And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

Humanity

Author G. K. Chesterson wrote, “All theology has two simple principles: that we matter and that everyone else matters.” That restates the Apostle Paul’s instruction that we are to regard others as more important than ourselves.
