Image Bearers

Series: Genesis: Understanding God's Good Design

Category: Creation

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we looked at what it means to be created in the image of God. In Genesis 1:26-31, God created mankind with the explicit purpose of bearing His image in the world. God created us like Him in that He gave us minds with which to think, reason, and make decisions. He created us like Him by giving us hearts with a capacity for relationship and a soul that will exist for eternity. God created us like Him in that He gave us the capacity to work and create, bearing His image as sub-creators in the world. As image bearers, we are set apart from creation and commissioned by God to bear His image in the world. Where you see a human being living according to God’s design, you will see a small reflection of God Himself.
