-How does the truth of humanity as a part of creation go hand in hand with the the honor of being created in God's image?

-How were images used in ancient cultures by kings, and what impact does this have on our understanding of why God creates humanity in His own image?

Recommended Worship Songs for YOU ARE... IMAGE:
In the classic hymns, Be Thou My Vision and All Creatures of Our God and King, mankind joins all creation in finding his highest purpose in bringing praise and glory to God. But, mankind is special because, created in God's image, he finds his greatest joy in living in fellowship with God and reflecting his glorious attributes.

Be Thou My Vision video
Be Thou My Vision lyrics:
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence, my light

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art

High King of heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun
Heart of own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision O Ruler of all
Heart of own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision O Ruler of all

Thou, silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

All the redeemed washed by His blood
Come and rejoice in His great love
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Christ has defeated ev'ry sin
Cast all your burdens now on Him
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

He shall return in pow'r to reign
Heaven and earth will join to say
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Then whol shall fall on bended knee?
All creatures of our God and King
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
