Created In God’s Image

Genesis 1:27 God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

There is one sad truth about the truth, and what is that? It is that truth can be corrupted into evil and oppressive lies that grows into a vast world wide field of weeds that won’t go away until God’s time table.

Psalms 56:5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

2 Peter 3:16 as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Being created in the image of God has allowed one evil after another on earth in the name of religion where we are told by those in power we must accept outright lies and evil because some religion has taught we are created in God’s image.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

Yes, its true, a simpletons magical view that what created in God’s image has to be from God, and if its from God it can’t be evil. Thus, we must convince ourselves that evil is not evil, but there is something good in it. Now we find the whole barrel of apples corrupted in all commerce, government, and religion it so rotten one can not gut looking through the barrel of apples for a good one any longer.

Matt. 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
7:20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

Now let us stop and reason like adults what creation is being referred to above that God created who in his image? What is the context and time table of God’s words. For example was it before Adam and Eve sinned against God or after?

God cannot create evil, God did not create sin, God is good and light so all he creates is good and light. Hence, the context is before Adam and Eve made themselves a sinner. Yes, Adam and Eve made themselves sinners because Eve believed that she could exist without God, and sadly Adam didn’t believe that God was love and he feared finding himself alone again on earth.

But the god of confusion want you and me to believe that his world which is made up of government, religion, and commerce has good in it because man is created in God’s image, Satan gives those three supports of all his kingdoms much power to blind us by making us believe they are from God and, thus, they must also be created in God’s image.

1 Corinthians 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints.

So if on creates their own god, their own ruler-ship than that god would be an idol a false ruler, a corrupt ruler and not created in God’s image at all God’s image is not corruptiable, correct?

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

What it would not be is something created in God’s image that is a lie! I remember one time having a conversation with some brothers who were considered mature and looked up to by others for their wisdom, Our conversation was about the end of our world and the destruction human’s system of things, that is all governments at Christ coming.

They sternly warned me that man is created in God’s image, somehow that justified God not bring the world to end.

God’s image is love, hardly could love do an injustice, so when God brings and end to mankind self-rule one can rest assured in completed faith that the God of love will not arbitrarily or blindly just destroy mankind that the human race that was not created in God’s image of love but created in sin.

Psalms 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Psalms 51:3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.

Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.

You heard that correctly mankind is created in sin that is the entire message of God’s word the bible humans are not created in God’s image which is sinless. And it is for that reason all fall short of God’s glory because all have sinned. Moreover, that the human race are under the judgment of death because all sin and fail short of God’s glory. Furthermore, the flesh us in our sin profit us nothing when it comes to pleasing God, so on and so on. . .

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

Romans 8:4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Romans 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

It is precisely for that reason God sent his Son, which means, God sent us his love to redeem us from the corruption of sin that all human unwillingly are born into.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

We are born into death from sin by Adams unfaithfulness to God, and we are born again into Christ the last Adam and receive the gift of God’s love eternal life. God creates us new in Christ Jesus freeing us from Adam sin, Christ is sinless removing our deserved judgment of death. We have eternal life at our rebirth into the Christ the holy living temple of God.

None of us has to condone evil, that is, sin in us or others because God does not condone sin at all, God is and will eradicate all sin from mankind in Christ Jesus by his unmerited kindness in giving us a new life one that is righteous from the free gift of his Son’s life Jesus Christ.

God has eradicated sin in all those born again in Christ by putting our old man to death in Christ and rising us into a new Spirit life in Christ.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Some day soon all human will be created in God’s image, that is, love, and all will walk in the law of love, without the struggle of trying to right or will they have to working at it because it will be the nature of mankind created in love to live in love. That is our hope among and evil and twisted generation of human not created in God’s image but created in twisting every truth and making it evil and oppressive.

However let us not despair there is but one truth of God that is Jesus Christ and he is incorruptible he can’t die and he is from everlasting to everlasting so truth can never be overcome by lies.

All things must come to the light that is the will of God, and it is our enduring in Christ the truth that will have certain and complete success in the new heavens and earth that we are awaiting, have faith, have endurance in the sure unshakable kingdom of God!

Revelation 22:5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

1 John 2:9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.

1 John 2:10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

Heb. 12:26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens."{Haggai 2:6}
12:27 This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.{Deuteronomy 4:24}
