Genesis 1:27; 2:7, “So God created mankind in His own image,
in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them…. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” 

Psalm 19:1-2, 7-8, “The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge….

The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.”
