Man is made to glorify God. His very image was meant to make men think of God. His likeness was purposed to do the same. As also with God, man was to govern the dominion delivered to them by God and subdue any rebellion. Sin would eventually disqualify men from their position but through Christ, they are allowed to return. Returning meant imperfection would reign until the time of reformation amid the hostility of satanic forces. Making straight that which was crooked would not be without its challenges, yet those who overcome would gain the right to reclaim what they lost. The overcomers are bidden by God to rise, to stand, to endure, to press on, to regain their glorious identity as God’s image and likeness through Jesus Christ. Join us in this encouraging message of hope and promise as we reach towards the Bible’s extended hand to overcome and live.
