We search all our lives for significance because we truly long to leave behind a heritage. We long to be remembered after our flesh has again turned back to dust. We want a legacy to leave behind after our deaths. How much should a man (using the term generically as in Genesis 1 to refer to humanity by the way), focus on himself for answers?http://www.aplacefortruth.org/Gen1_26_28_pt1.htm

Man has always wanted to know himself. In fact, the great Socrates' burning statement of purpose was “Know Thyself”. Man wants to know himself, but how - well, that is the question! If all men are made in God's image, then there is only way to know thyself, or to know God, or to know anyone, or anything else according to Genesis chapter one. Here at the apex, the pinnacle, the culmination, and the ultimate moment of God's creation: God creates man his Prince. The Prince will rule as Vice-Gerent over God's creation by ruling or having dominion over the creation. Man is personally in communion with his Great and Sovereign Creator - -there is no relational distance between them, only the ontological distinction between THE Creator and his creature. http://aplacefortruth.org/Gen1_26_28pt1.htm
