June 4, 2024 REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE
Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
Psalm 139:13-14 “For You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
We were not just created; we were created in the image of God! In the hustle and bustle of life, we may forget who we are. We have not evolved; we have been created. Remembering who we are takes us above the ‘mere human’ mindset. No one fully understands the full implications of being made in the image of God; but we know it is awesome to bear the image of God. I cannot even imagine God knitting me together in my mothers womb! I can relate to Psalm 139:6 “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.” This may sound like a stretch, but we have God’s DNA. Even though the sin of Adam and Eve had a devastating impact on mankind, it did not erase the fact that we are created in the image of God. We know that God is loving, that He is compassionate, that He is forgiving, that He is creative, that He is just and righteous. Those same traits are in us. Sin on our part and not knowing who we are will lead to us not expressing the image of God that is within us. Every believer has in him or her an innate desire to express the attributes of God-that’s who they are. What greater news could there be for you and I that we are created in the image of God. Because we are in His image, we can be those who do what God would do; we can bring peace, love, forgiveness, hope, purpose, healing, and wisdom to any situation! Living in the image of God is a super-natural life; we are not limited to the natural tendencies of human nature; we have been given a new nature. So, in the routines of life, in the good times and in the difficult times, remember who you are! Live out of your true identity.
Ephesians 4:24 “And put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”
