God is relationship:

An awareness of the importance that God places on relationship and the extent of His passion to pursue you is important for everyone. How will you manage to love your spouse and your family with a love that is unconditional and lasts a lifetime unless you are convinced that such a love is possible. You will discover that possibility in God’s love pursuit of you in the person of Jesus Christ.

The first chapters of the book of Genesis have a wealth of hidden treasures and Genesis 1:26-27 is one of them. These verses reveal God’s love, passion, and His great intent. The God of the Bible is chasing after you. He is a God who is all about relationship. His purpose is clear - He has made you in His likeness; to announce Him, reflect His character and to rule the world He created for you. As our opening scripture declares you are his ‘masterpiece.’ 

In Genesis 1:26, the sudden use of the plural “Let Us,” and “Our Image” and “Like Us” directs our thoughts to the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That God is three persons in one tells a simple truth - God is relationship, and if He made us in his likeness, then we have been made to reflect His character in the relationships we build with each other.
