What Genesis 1:27 means
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. Before you did anything right or wrong, your worth was set by whose image you bear. Every person you will ever meet carries this dignity, which is why the way we treat one another is never a small thing.

Genesis 1:27 in context
26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
