Made In His Image
What were your thoughts while watching the children describe the images and how they describe their own reflections?
We all should take this as a lesson in instilling Godly character in our children. The bible tells how we should do this.
What about our own self image?
How would you describe you, to someone? what would you say about self?

Genesis 1:26-28

How Do We Define an Image
1. Google - A image is a visual representation of something
2. Dictionary. Com – A physical likeness or representation of a person, animal, or thing, photographed, painted, sculptured, or otherwise made visible.
3. A mental representation; idea; conception
4. A mental representation of something previously perceived, in the absence of the original stimulus.
Just for fun! Test yourself again to see how quickly your brain can switch between seeing both objects—the duck and the rabbit or the old lady and the young woman. It’s not as easy as it looks!

The Bible says we’re made in his image.
This doesn’t mean we look like God, because God is an immaterial being, it means we’re a person like God.

We have a mind, emotion and a will we think and feel, we have desires. We are a moral being like God, but God is the essence of morality He is unchanging, we on the other hand are like God in an analogous way, God is mind emotion will as we are. There's no other creature that’s like this, God designed us as the cream of the crop when he made Adam and Eve, He was finished when God designed you, He said it was very good.

Psalms 8:6

Psalms 139:14

Ecclesiastes 3:11

Genesis 9:6

I Samuel 16:7

Psalms 33:13-15

We can’t see God’s image of us as a reflection in a mirror, we must see his reflection with our spiritual eyes.

God’s stamp of approval is on you it doesn't matter if you are tall, short, fat, skinny or if you have straight hair curly, you are black, red, or white. You are made in God’s image!

We were not all meant to look the same exact way if we were God would have made us that way.

God values his sons and daughters, His image of you is, royalty you reign over all his creations.

Psalms 8:5-6

We were made to reflect the glory of God’s character He made us spiritual being reflecting his spirit. His spirit his character is God of love.

1 Timothy 1:5

Mark 12:30-31

Broken Image
You can’t have a broken self-image. You must love God’s image of you. This is when you can love God’s image in your neighbors.
When we get God’s image of us distorted and twisted with the care of the world, or we just don’t know what God’s image is for us. How on earth can we love our neighbor as our self, when self our self-image is broken up?

God’s answer to our distorted, twisted images we have of our self, is found in:

Psalms 139:13-16

There will be times our image is broken, or you have small cracks in your mirror’s reflection. God will put each broken or cracked image in our life back together. He will pick up each piece right where it is.

God is the master designer. Your new image will reflect a beautiful Mosaic Masterpiece designed by God. God turns every broken image into a beautiful stained glass Mosaic Reflecting God’s image in us. This new reflection will draw people to his new image in us.
Reflection - Will your reflection show others that you are made in God’s Image?
When we have the character and love of God our image will reflect that in our life. Now we can love God’s image in our neighbors.

Now we can love our neighbor as our self, because we love the image of God in self.

A. Reflect God’s image in you. (God’s image is. Love)
Serve His People with his image of Love
If you are reflecting God’s image in you, that image will allow you to serve God’s people with the love of Jesus. Linked Up Church when we are walking in God’s Image, we want have shortages on our DT, we all can be a part of or lead Connect Groups, the church will not have enough serve projects because we have so many people reflecting God’s love for his community.
B. Honor God’s Glory in others with love, this is reflecting the Glory of God.
God is the source of your glory if you are imagining God’s reflection you are not serving people you are serving the Father. By focusing on God, you will have your self-worth from God not things or people.
When the image of God is broken in us, it is hard for you to honor God’s image in others.
We must get our validation from God not things, people, jobs, spouse, children or the church.

Colossians 1:15

John 14:9

God Loves his Image You
1. You are Predestined: And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

2. You are Called: he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself.
A. Because God has called you he gives you hope, He called you to represent Him.
B. Called to be set Apart , Called to be His Holy ones called to walk in the fulfillment of his promises for you, Called to a royal priesthood in the linage of Jesus Christ I pray we know we are called to win people to Christ

Romans 8:30

3. You are Justified: He transferred his perfect righteousness to everyone he called This aspect of what Jesus achieved for us on the cross means that it became possible for God the Father to see us as him.

We are justified by the righteousness of Jesus that He paid on the cross for us. God now sees us as His perfect Son Jesus.Glorified: And those who possess his perfect righteousness he co-glorified with his Son!

We are Co-Glorified with the one and only Jesus Christ The Perfect Image of God.

Romans 8:30
