We alone are made in the image of God. All human beings are His creation, made in his image with spiritual capacities, for goodness, worship and fellowship with him. The word "image" includes words such as "righteousness and holiness" and "knowledge". Believers are to be "conformed to his likeness" and will someday be like him. Being made in his image established them in a special relationship with God. The second way we are to be distinguished is that we are given charge over all the rest of creation. As God’s representative in the creaturely realm, we are stewards of God's creatures. We are not to exploit, waste or dispel them, but to care for them in the service of God and humanity. The Garden is described as "paradise" which related to the Hebrew word "bliss" or "delight". Their access to the fruit of the tree of life showed God’s will and intention for mankind was LIFE. His desire was to provide for them in every way.
