Image is significant in our society today. It is pretty evident by the billions of dollars spent every year to create a better image; clothes, hairstyles, nails, makeup, fitness clubs, health food, etc.

“…Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:26-27

The word image in Hebrew is selem, meaning something cut out, likeness.

If we are created in God’s image or likeness, why do we work so hard to recreate what God has created? I believe it all comes down to not knowing God.  

“Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.” Jeremiah 24:7

The word “know” here is Yada. I heard a bible teacher once say, if you don’t Yada God, you got nada.
