Made in the Image of God
What is going on in your life? What keeps you awake through the night? What is upsetting you throughout your day?
Followers of Christ – you are made in the image of God Himself. You have received Jesus Christ as your Savior. It is His blood which was spilled for you on the cross. You have been given His righteousness. You are made in the image of God Himself.
The living God tells us…
(NASB) Genesis 1:26-27 “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’
27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
No matter how others treat you, no matter how they choose to cause you hurt and anguish and anger… followers of Christ you are made in the image of God.
You have been given the mind of Christ, followers of Christ.
God says so.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 2:16 “‘For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.”
You are made in the image of God – don’t forget this fact. Your worth, your value to God is huge! You are made in His image.
Your worth and value is never to be in yourself, your job, your bank account or what other people think of you.
You cost God His beloved Son’s life when He suffered death on the cross… you are worth that much to the living God!

How should you respond to God Himself?
(NASB) Psalm 100:1-3
“Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
3 Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us and not we ourselves
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”
You are made in the image of the living, Triune God of the Holy Bible.
Praise Him!
