What does it mean to be made in God's image? When the dogs bark loudly or another significantly loud sound is introduced within the walls of our house, it will set the strings of the myriad instruments hanging on my wall to vibrating. An effect akin to an echo if you will. Are we a physically manifested echo of God's image? He spoke the worlds into being. Genesis talks of forming the dust into man by His breath. (Gen. 2:7) The dust + God's voice brought us into being. This would suggest an intrinsic connection between us and God. We are not God but an echo of His nature. An echo does not generate sound. It is wholly dependent on the voice (or sound), that created it, but offers the same characteristics as the original voice. Our highest goal should be to uncover that part of our life that is an echo of our Creator.
