Romans 1:22-23
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man -- and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
--NKJV
In the name of the One Who created us in His image. Amen.
God originally created man in His image, but fallen man wants to recast God in the image of fallen man. Whenever someone says, “My god has a sense of humor,” or, “My god wouldn’t do that,” he has recast God in the image of sinful man. We dare not recast God in that way, but do well to receive Him as He is. After all, He is love, we are not. In Him is forgiveness and salvation, not in us. God is life and purpose; He is the existing one. Amen.
Prayer:
Lord God, holy Almighty, holy Immortal, holy and all merciful God and Savior, You are the reality, we can only hope to be the image. Sanctify us by Your Holy Spirit that we might be in Your image as You have redeemed us to be through Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
