Test 7 - Chapters 21-25 Flashcards
Why did God create us?

As we glorify God and enjoy him, Scripture tells us that he rejoices in us. We read “As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.” Isaiah 62:5
The fact that man is in the image of God means that man is like God and represents God.
The idea that men and women have been given by God different primary functions in the family and the church.

Equality in personhood
