Richard Pratt points out that Genesis 1:26 establishes humanity’s unique place in God’s kingdom. God has given the human race the unique title of image-bearer. Pratt goes so far as to ask his readers to put down his book, go find another person, and shake his or her hand while saying with sincerity, “Hello, your Majesty!” What this means is that individual human beings possess inherent beauty, dignity, and worth since each one has been created in the image of God.
