he was created to be the image and glory of God.

Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our
likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of
the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own
image, in the image of God He created him...

John 10:33-36
The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for

Furthermore, we are told that as men we will judge angels.

I Corinthians 6:3
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of
this life?

Such is Yahweh’s high purpose in His design and calling of man that we are told that
all of creation is waiting for the sons of God to be revealed.

Romans 8:19-22
For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing
of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not
willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation
itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom
of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation
groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

Man is a glorious and wonderful creation of Yahweh. He was created to bear the
