Ahhhhh, the precious moment of our creation, defining who we were meant to be from the very beginning: loved, provided for, created with a purpose to be fruitful, unafraid, with dominion and authority, creative, and FREE.
When Jesus died for the sins of the world, He made a way for us to go home, home to the garden, restored, washed, cleaned, and able to walk in fellowship with Him, once again, in the cool of the day. He gave us dominion over sin, no longer weak and broken with a tainted image. He made a way for the image of God to be restored in us.
By renewing our minds, we can be transformed back into the image we were always created to be. AND THEN, brightened from glory to glory to glory, from faith to faith to more and more faith.
We were never meant to live this life weighed down and condemned by sin. Jesus came to free us from its bondage and weight, from the strongholds of addiction and oppression, to free us as birds in a cage, lifted in His mighty hands, raised to soar with Him in heavenly places…forgiven….rescued…restored, and free.
With His words abiding in us, making us fruitful, because of what we can do with them, and how true and powerful they are to change the tides of life.
Do you know who you are? Have you been translated from the kingdom of darkness into His marvelous Light?
Before God ever gave us an assignment, He gave us identity. He told us who we were, how we were made (to look like Him and represent Him on this earth), and what we could do while we were here.
Our authority flows from that place, which is why it’s so important for the image to be restored, for us to be image-bearers of the most beautiful image of the invisible God ever seen by human eyes…Jesus.
Let His image burn bright in you today….
Til Christ be formed in you,
