A Reflection Of Him

Listen Later
Jake starts his series, What Happened In The Garden, Wednesday in Miles City.

We were created in the image and likeness of God. That means that we are to resemble and bear His image on earth. If we label ourselves Christians, and don't bear the image of the Father, we leave no desire for others to come to believe in Christ Jesus

Genesis 1:26-27
  • Genesis 5:1
    • Created to bear the image of God on earth.
      • Romans 5:12-13
      • 1  Corinthians 15:45, 47, 49
        • Sin entered the world through the first Adam. All men sinned and bore the image of the transgression of Adam, but as we used to bear the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the Man of heaven.
          • Hebrews 1:3
          • Colossians 1:15
          • John 14:9
            • Jesus is the express image of the Father, the image of the invisible God. If you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father, because He bears His image.
              • Ephesians 5:1
              • We are to be imitators of Him as dear children. When people see you, will they think you look like the Father?
                • John 14:15-20
                • The image of the Father is dwelling within you! 
                  • 2 Corinthians 5:20
                  • An ambassador represents and promotes the interests of another. 
                    • Are we representing the Father?
                      • In the way we talk?
                      • In the way we act?
                      • In the things we take part in?
                      • Are we promoting the things of the Father? 
                        • Living in sin does not represent or promote the things of the Father.
                        • God is making his appeal through us.
                          • Appeal means a serious or urgent request, typically made to the public.
                            • The world urgently needs representatives of God on earth.
                              • "Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian." D.L. Moody
                              • If we label ourselves Christians, and don't bear the image of the Father, we leave no desire for others to come to believe in Christ Jesus.
                                • Matthew 5:14-16
                                • When you bear the image of the Father, and they see the Father in you, they will glorify Him. They will be drawn unto Him.
                                • We were created to be in the likeness of Him, not the likeness of sin.
                                  • So how do we apply this to our lives?
                                  • 2 Corinthians 13:5
                                    • Examine yourself!
                                      • Are you living according to His word? 
                                      • Do you look like the Father, do you look like Jesus? 
                                        • Jesus Christ is in YOU!
