In The Image of God

Genesis 1:27 
"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them."

This week we continue our series titled Children of the Heavenly Father. Last week we studied young David faced the GIANT GOLIATH!! One of the most famous events recorded in the Holy Bible! These events occurred so "ALL THE EARTH MAY KNOW that there is a God in Israel." 

Young David ran toward the giant Goliath when the rest of Israel was TOO scared. The other men of Israel gave in to the temptation to NOT fight the giant. GOD will prove you and use you to demonstrate His goodness and mercy in the world. GOD wants us to stand up against those that defy Him. We can do it! God is with us. We are His children.

Today we turn to the first chapter of the first book of Holy Scripture, verse twenty-seven; "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them." We are made in God's image! Don't forget that! We are special to GOD! This is something that is NOT said about the rest of creation.

As we tried to identify the Goliath's in our lives, which giants GOD will help us defeat, we noticed that Goliath was defiant against God's will. Who in our world today is defying God? Is there anyone saying something other than "male and female created He them."??? 
Are they a GOLIATH???

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
