I thank God that Adam was able to realize after eating the fruit that he is now lost, the glory is gone..He is now vulnerable, the image is gone, the likeness is gone., the position is gone, the man is lost!
Today the church is not respected because the man is not found in
the church, the church no longer shows the image, the likeness of God. They
can’t be distinguished from other ordinary churches. They are lost in this
world, confused.
You find the Man you find God.
You find the Man you find God.
Find the man first before you can find the relationship.
Find the man first before you can find the money, before you can
find that business.
Find the man first before you can seek wisdom, understanding from
God.
Find the man before you can find the power.
Everything that God said it should be in this earth in the book of
Genesis 1 he said it is good every time he said it. But after he created a man,
he said it is very good.
After Man lost the image of God, man no longer sees God when they
are looking at themselves, they saw hatred, competition and rivalry.
The likeness of God is the knowledge of God, the wisdom of God.
Adam was able to name all the animals that God brought to him and
every animal’s name today is what Adam named it because they responded to the
image, likeness of God. Creation responds to the image of God. When man’s eyes
opened to sin, he hid himself, Adam hid the likeness of God, Adam hid the image
of God. That’s why today we can’t tell if a person is a Christian because we can’t
distinguish them from the world, the image of God is lost in the church today.
Going to church every Sunday doesn’t show the image of God,
singing loud and dancing in the church doesn’t show the likeness of God.
Wearing the best formal clothes doesn’t show the image of God. But you showing
love, long suffering, patient, kindness, authority it shows God’s image.
The image of authority
The image of rulership
The image of power
The image that doesn’t bow to the standard of this world.
The likeness of God that calls things into existence out of
nothing.
When man fell, he started showing the opposite side of the image
of God.
Th image of fear
The image of doubt
The image of procrastination
The likeness of bitterness
The likeness of hatred.
When man fell, he started to know stopped knowing God and started
to know evil, sin.
Put on the image of God.
Put on Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15 verse 45-49
Ephesians 2 verse 14-18
He created in Himself one new man that’s why the man is found in
Jesus Christ because he was created from Him.
Ephesians 4 verse 22-24
The old man is there but don’t put him on but put on the new man.
This is the man that was created to live in true righteousness and holiness.
CHRIST
THE IMAGE OF GOD
You are created to show the image of God
To show the beauty of God.
To show the magnificent of God.
Show the likeness of God
Show the image of God!
Colossians 3 verse 1-17.
