identity in christ: made in the image of god
What does it mean to be made in the image of God
We are a reflection of some of the attributes of God – we cannot in our humanity reflect all His attributes as He is the only one who is God. However, He made us to reflect some of His attributes in order to reflect His nature in our world. There are ways in which our nature is reflective of God’s, especially in our spiritual nature.
christmas is an act of war
