Created to be a community

God created people in his own relational image to be a community. We were created in the likeness of God to reflect his glory by being masters of all life, by multiplying and filling the earth, and by subduing it to the dominion of God. In this way people were created to represent the rule of God and to fill the entire earth with the glory of God expressed in his kingdom. God has always existed as three in one and one in three, – a community of love. This community of love he wanted this to be expressed among people created in his own image! Family, friendship, community, and society originate in the covenantal nature of God and can only find their fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.
