The bible and identity Part 1: First creation —our original glorious identity (Genesis 1) Part 2: Fall within creation —our damaged identity (Genesis 3) Part 3: New creation in Christ —our renewed glorious identity (Ephesians1) Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26–27)
