92 Knowing & Living His Image

What is LIFE and Living God’s Image – all about? Let's go back to God's plan - or instructions - for life - and our responsibility - in life What was God's vision or plan for His special creation - MANKIND – US? In Genesis chapter 1 God not only created God also explained His plan for mankind - to Adam God’s part - and our part in God’s plan for mankind Now - there are 2 elements in that plan 1. His part and His responsibility 2. Our part and Our responsibility Now the foundation to that is in Genesis 1:26-27 His special creation - in His image and likeness In which God purposefully created mankind - with the express intention that mankind would be like Him with the ability to live and express His image and likeness Genesis 1:26 says - Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion - on the earth.” In Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind. Yes - God completed His part by empowering His creation - as recorded in Genesis 1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion - on the earth -. Blessing - anointing - empowering - and equipping mankind - to express the fullness of His Image - NOW - What does that all mean? Well - in Genesis 1:28 God explained to MAN what life is all about and how to live that image and likeness - in which He created mankind - Saying in Genesis 1:28 Firstly and most importantly - Be fruitful - The purpose of life - is to reach out to live for others - in the same way as He would live for us as we can see from Jesus' life on our behalf - John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Then Secondly Multiply .by expressing who HE is in us His IMAGE - that He created us in - Then Thirdly Fill the earth - Living His likeness - living and expressing His Glory - Who He is in us - and through us As Paul wrote in - Colossians 1:27 which is Christ in you, the hope of glory - Then God continued by - telling us what - OUR Responsibilities are - towards HIM in other words - what we are to live and do - for HIM - Fourthly Subdue - God gave us the authority on earth and therefore we have to deal with whatever challenges us on earth - but praise God - in His strength we are victorious! 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. We stand - God delivers - And Finally Have Dominion - taking responsibility - on His behalf - for what happens on earth and therefore also for what we allow - in our midst - where we live Acts 17:28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, yet that only becomes real in our lives - when we accept - understand and live – Genesis 1:28
