Regardless of the circumstances of your conception, you were created by God. You were created for purpose. Your life has meaning and value. Along with all of humanity, you deserve dignity and respect. Whether you receive these gifts from people around you or not, they are God’s gifts to you.
Main Points:
1. In the book of Genesis we read the triune God created man in His image, and after His likeness. We are the only part of creation that has this stamp on us. Animals, birds, livestock, and all the creatures that crawl upon the ground are not made in His image. No trees, mountains, stars, or oceans were made after His likeness.
2. To live the life God created and designed you to live, you must embrace the truth that you were created in the image of God. Your life is not an accident, a mistake, or an after-thought. Your life is important and you are here today because of the will of God.
3. We were not made like God in appearance. The Bible says God is spirit. But the image of God we bear is his likeness and his character. We were created with the ability to discern right and wrong, to live righteous and holy lives, like God. We were created with minds that think and reason. Spiritually, we can relate, communicate, and have a relationship with God.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Genesis 1:26-27 - “Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
Psalm 139:13-14 - “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.”
