Living the Message

In His Image

This morning, Pastor Jason talked about Genesis 1:26-31 when God created man in His image. It's kind of like looking in a mirror - when we see the image that is reflected and not the actual thing. We learn in John 4:24 that God is spirit and His followers must worship Him in spirit and in truth. What else does it mean to be created in His image?

1. We are above nature - we must care for it.
2. To be created in God's image is to reflect God's desire for life.
3. In verse 31, God looked at all He had made and said that is is very good - this puts a lot of weight on us to be His reflection. We messed it up, but through Jesus' sacrifice, He declared it is finished.

One way we refelect God's image is a desire to see life flourish.

Question of the Week: Can you think of other ways we reflect God's image?
