We Are All Made In God's Image


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.”

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.  God blessed them ….

Genesis 1:26-28

We are created in the image of God.  There are no exceptions.  This means that we all have the potential to live lives which reflect the love and goodness of God. 

Knowing this, we can apply this to our attitudes toward people who we view as the scourges of society.  Every person has within them the potential for redemption and to become a servant of God.  We cannot change the hearts and will of men, but we can pray and take the Gospel to everyone within our reach, and let God do the rest. 

God made man in His image.  And, that includes everyone.
