Everybody cares about salvation: the difference is where we look for it. In this sermon of the CREDO series, Pastor Steve preaches on Ephesians 1:1-14 in which Paul declares that true salvation - true reunion with God - is found only in Jesus. His salvation means union with Jesus and enjoyment of that union’s blessed benefits. We can therefore conclude that Christianity is not a quest for what we lack but enjoying what we already have in Him, and that salvation is getting caught up in the life that God is now living on earth.

Genesis 1:24–28 and 2:18–23 address what it means to be human and how we view ourselves and others. Humanity is marked by four key features:

1. The Image of God: We are made in God's image—not God himself, but reflecting his essence in a way that makes humanity distinct.

2. Male and Female: We are created as male and female, showing both radical equality and real distinction.

3. Victims and Agents: While we fell victim to Satan’s manipulation in Genesis 3, we remain responsible for our actions.

4. Wholeness through Jesus: Jesus took on humanity to be with us, becoming like us in every respect yet remaining without sin. Through him, we receive sympathy, a new status as children of God, and the guidance of his Spirit.

Because everyone is made in the image of God, we must be mindful of how we treat others. Likewise, because you reflect his image, you are called to treat yourself with that same care and dignity.

What we believe about God is the most important thing about us, because it comprehensively shapes our lives and practices. In this sermon, Pastor Steve teaches out of Genesis 1:1-3 and 1 John 4:7-12 to reveal ancient truth about who God is and what difference that makes to our reality. The most fundamental divide of reality is between Creator and created, and the hope that the created have is that the Creator is also our Redeemer and our Lover.
