Yahweh's Formed Image: His Living Salmu

In the ancient world, kings and priests placed salmu—statues or carved images—inside temples to represent their gods. These lifeless idols were believed to manifest divine presence. But Yahweh did something entirely different. He formed Adam from the dust and breathed into him the breath of life, making humanity His living salmu—true image bearers. This high-quality wall canvas draws from Genesis 1:26–27 and 2:7, portraying the profound truth that we were not chiseled by human hands to mirror imaginary gods, but formed by the hands of the Creator to reflect His character, authority, and care. We were made not to be worshiped, but to represent the One who is worthy of all worship. Perfect for homes, churches, studies, or classrooms, this piece is more than décor—it’s visual theology, combining biblical truth with ancient Near Eastern insight to invite deeper reflection on what it means to be made in God’s image.
