Who am I?
Posted by icfvancouver on 22, January 2012
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unclean.
Who is this creature who says
” I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth” ?
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
The meaning of God creating us in his own image
1. We are very unique among all creation
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
2. We’re spiritual being
3. We’re created with a moral dimension
4. We’re created with rational nature.
5. We’re created to take care of God’s creation.
6. We’re created in the relationship with God.
One more definition of “image”
“Reflect”
