Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule… over all the earth.”

God did not speak you out of the sea or the soil. When it was time for mankind, He turned inward and spoke to the environment of His own being. Fish belong to water. Trees belong to earth. You belong to God.

This is origin, not achievement. Before Adam could impress or disappoint anyone, he was spoken from the heart of God. Your first environment is not culture, trauma, or tribe. It is the presence of the One who said Let Us.
