You were Created in His Own Image

Walk in love!



So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27

Do we look like God? Do we remind people of God’s goodness when they see us? Do we love like Him? Do we care like He does? In the very first chapter of the Bible, God lays the foundation for what will follow. If the foundation is not laid correctly, then the rest of the building is crooked right? God establishes our vision of what His purpose is and where we are headed with our lives, and being what we are, we need to have some insight into what He is. So He tells us immediately, in the first chapter of the Bible that we are made in His image and His likeness. God is clearly implying that He is reproducing Himself and that His purpose is that we will be exactly like Him when He is finished with us. Praise God!


To be like Him means that we would give to others; God is the “greatest Giver and Lover”. He loves so much that He gave His only Son (John 3:16).
Be like Him means that we were created with the power to change the world. We look like Him not just in our Physical forms but in our spiritual form as well. When we understand this concept, we will understand how much He really loves us and how much we can accomplish in this world.

We were created by a loving father who gave us dominion over all on this earth. The devil has no power over us. We can prosper, we can be healed, and we can be free. Praise God! When the world sees us, they need to recognize the power of the living God. Our life should reflect complete joy and contentment. We cannot look defeated when we are going through the tough times, we have power of the living God in us.

Friend, walk in love and godliness. Claim your power and face the world with unconditional love. Let the world see the love of God in you. Do not love in the ways of the world. Love truly and completely. Give selflessly and generously. Show enduring love just like God has been showing you. Give compassionately and without expectation of reciprocity.

God's love cannot fail. He is Almighty. He is good at all time. Walk in His goodness and His love. Claim your destiny and your inheritance as one His beloved child. Live in victory and love. Let the world know that you are the heir of the highest God by your actions and not just your words. Walk in love!

Praise the Lord!
