Scripture Title: In The Image Of God



Pastor Greg Wiest



Scripture Reading: Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬-‭31‬ “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.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.”



Sermon Summary:



Every one of us is made in the image of God. We are unique. We have free will. We have the ability to think and reason outside of ourselves. We are moral. We have a built in moral conscience that lets us know right from wrong and good from evil. We have an internal soul that will never cease to exist. In the final resurrection, all those who have died will awake some to everlasting life with God in heaven and some to shame and everlasting contempt separated from God in Hell.



God made us in His image to be in relationship with Him. It gives God pleasure to be in fellowship with the humans He created. John 3:16 declares that “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God’s desire is that we live our lives in communion with him through faith in Jesus Christ. God created you and designed you to be in relationship with Him. He gave us purpose to be here on the earth. Every human is made in God’s image and every human is valuable and precious to God. We protect and value all human life. God created you and designed you exactly as you are supposed to be with a soul and a unique personality. Everyone matters to the Lord. And His desire is that we come into fellowship with Him through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
