A Reflection On God’s Image

When I consider that I am made to be like Him

No one can live wisely and with purpose without realizing where we came from, where we are going, and why it all came about in the first place. We must know: we are created from Him, for Him, and in His likeness. We get caught up in jobs, mortgages, family business, relationships, and pastimes, trying to find some sense of fulfillment in all of them. But we have a higher calling lying underneath it all. We are made to be like Him! That’s the point of it all.

Adam and Eve were modeled after Him; but we are even inhabited by Him. We are daily being conformed to the image of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). Do you live with that awareness? Are your mundane, daily decisions made with that in mind? Meditate on this amazing truth daily and let it guide your life. Whatever your other desires, there is no higher calling than this. It’s what we were made for.

God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:27
