Have you ever heard someone say, “You are the ‘spitting image’ of your mother or father”?
This probably means you either look like that other person or act like the other person.
We are created in God’s image. This fact helps us to realize our own worth.
“…”Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness……God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created Him; male and female He created them….” Genesis 1:26,27.
God had no physical body, so how can He say He created man in His own image? Well, God helps us with that little query:
Think about the attributes of God from His own description: “I, Yahweh, am full of compassion, slow to anger, rich in faithfulness and truth, forgiving of rebellion, and wrongdoing–-” Exodus 34:6-7.
Our entire being should reflect the “image” of God. God had all the confidence in the world in our ability to be like Him.
Knowing Him personally helps us to make a valuable difference in our own lives and the lives of those around us.
What would it mean for you today for someone to say, “You are the spitting image of God.”? Now, that would make God smile!
Have a blessed day!
