You are image bearer
of God. God created you to be like Him and in His image. “Then God
said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our
likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the
birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over
all the creatures that move along the ground.” (Genesis 1:26NIV)
God is ruler of heaven and earth. As
His image-bearer, He entrusted man to rule, in His behalf, over His created
things on earth and in the sky.
This is recognized even by our
forefathers before we were Christian that some thought man himself is god and
others regarded nature as god, nature also show the glory of God. But, human
beings are not God, we only bear God’s image. And nature only shows the glory
of God. They are not God. As such, we must worship God only and not His image
bearer, man; neither nature, which only show the glory of God partially.
Almost all the people of the world love
God. That’s why they worship nature and other objects, thinking, to be God. The
only problem is they still do not know the only true God, the Creator of the universe.
You and me also know the fact about
God only earlier Christians told us about Jesus Christ, who restored the broken
relationship between man and God. Now, it is our duty to tell them about the
Gospel of God, Salvation through Jesus Christ. Whether they believe or not is their duty. Our
duty is to tell them, as our Lord entrusted us to tell all people of the world.
(Matthew 28:18-20)
May God bless you.
