Made In His Image - April 6, 2015







Genesis 1:26     Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Matthew 5:48     "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Colossians 1:15     He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Psalm 8: 3 - 5     …3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; 4 What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? 5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!…


Just imagine the fun of creation; you just know God had to be smiling with a sense of joy and satisfaction as He hung the stars , placed stripes on zebras and created the platypus.
Can't you just imagine Him determining the length of a giraffes neck or how many times a hummingbird's wings must flap in order for him to hover.

To culminate his His  brilliance, he made man. With tremendous majestic flair he took a handful of dirt, a base substance and likened His image...

(Note we often get confused at this point...man does not look like God; God is a spirit. What it means it that we were brought forth without sin . Man is a unique creature in that we have both a material body with an immaterial spirit)


Think about just how treasured you are to God that He should be mindful of you and in His creation of you
