Being Made In God’s Image

 


God Said:

"God said 'let,'" when He spoke all of creation into existence, but when He created "Man" when he created man, whom he defines as "male and female," He said, "Let US create man in OUR own image, He refers of Himself as ONE who is more than ONE. He calls Himself "US," but He is truly The One True God: The Father, (Genesis 1,) The Son with Him,  (John 1:1-12 & Colossians 1:16-17,) and The Holy Spirit who "hovered over" the whole creation process. (Genesis 1:1-3.)

Humans Who Are Three in One:

And when God Created human beings, He also created us. Indeed, in His image. We are also three in one: We are Spirit making us God conscious, and intimate with our Creator. We became  living Souls, and eternal beings, when He breathed into our dirt based bodies the breath of life (His Spirit.) And this makes us Self conscious,. Finally, He made us to have a body. This makes us concious with, and to, the world.

The Crown Jewel of God's Masterpiece:

What a beautiful masterpiece creation is, especially the crown jewel of creation ... human beings. For, while God describes creation as "good," He describes human beings as "Very good."

Therefore, let your Creator make you fully alive, and let Him fill up your life's cup to overflowing. Let God give you the power to take care of yourself, as you deny yourself to take up The Cross, and follow Jesus. Then,  let God transform you to be a new creation in Christ Jesus. As He fills you to overflowing, you can, then, share this river of living water with others. Don't run on empty.

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
