Hands of diverse people forming a heart, symbolizing the Imago Dei and the dignity of all life.

Imago Dei


Imago Dei reminds us that all people reflect God’s image. Rediscover dignity and pray for a return to biblical truth.


Imago Dei means we all reflect the image of God.


Created in His Image

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
— Genesis 1:27 (ESV)

In America today, society is losing sight of a foundational biblical truth: every human being is created in the image of God.

We see the heartbreaking effects of forgetting this truth:

  • Abortion
  • Euthanasia
  • School shootings
  • Genocide
  • Cold-blooded murder (including shocking public responses like the 40% under age 30 who justified the killing of an insurance executive)
  • Celebrations following the murder of 1,200 Israelis by Hamas
  • Bombings of hospitals in wartime

These tragedies reflect a culture drifting from the sacredness of life. But Scripture reminds us that Imago Dei—God’s image—is in everyone.

“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible… all things were created through him and for him.”
— Colossians 1:16 (ESV)

We must pray that our nation returns to a biblical understanding of life’s dignity and value.

Until then, we honor and thank our law enforcement and armed forces for upholding justice and protecting lives against those who deny human worth.


Let Us Pray

Lord, open the eyes of our nation to see Your image in every human life. Restore our hearts to honor You and others. Amen.


Let Us Worship In Song
