Male and female, both in the image of God. The image is not completed in one person or one gender. It requires community, relationship, difference held together. This is why isolation is so contrary to what we are made for.

God saw that the light was good. He evaluates His own creation and finds it good. This is not arrogance — it is the Creator's delight. We are made in the image of a God who takes pleasure in what He makes. That should shape how we approach our own work.
