Why did God create Adam? us?

to function as He designed us

image-bearers ~= representatives

decreed to create art + usefulness modeled after Yahweh

worship we are the work of Yahweh’s hands the work of our hands’ is our output …does it cause us the worship the Creator? or the thing? or ourselves?

economics [Gen 1:26-28] dominion + subdue ~ steward + overcome ~ creation + recreation/molding …stems from identity

Tabernacle
    many people produced pieces of the whole, as prescribed by Yahweh

flourishing ~ [Ps 1]
