Apr 5, 2017 · Yes, humans are still made in God’s image, but sin has distorted this image. Humans have turned from worshipping the One in whose likeness we are made and instead have turned towards idols. As Paul says, sinful man “exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things” (Romans 1:23).

Nov 12, 2024 · America’s greatest theologian Jonathan Edwards rejoiced in the progressive increase of our knowledge in heaven, “The number of ideas of the saints shall increase to eternity.” We will work in heaven. We were made for work. In Genesis 1:26, God says, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the ...
The most important fact about heaven, however, is that we will be in God’s presence forever. Think of it: “And so we will be with the Lord forever” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)! Never again will we be bothered by sorrow or disappointment or heartache, and we will be safe and secure with Christ through all eternity.
Jan 4, 2022 · Accordingly, humanity is unique among all God’s creations, having both a material body and an immaterial soul/spirit. Having the “image” or “likeness” of God means, in the simplest terms, that we were made to resemble God. Adam did not resemble God in the sense of God’s having flesh and blood. Scripture says that “God is spirit ...

Three approaches to this question are commonly found, and no doubt all three have some merit. 1. Many have concluded that humans are image-bearers due to their superior intellectual structure. 2. Others have stressed that God mandates that humans function as rulers and managers of the creation as they image him (Gen 1:26-28; Psalm 8:5-8). 3. Yet an...
In the New Testament, the teaching of Jesus indicates the value of human beings implicit in their being God's image-bearers (Matt 6:26; 12:12). More important, Jesus himself perfectly images God in his life and ministry as he relates to God, people, and nature. As the first Adam failed the satanic test, the second Adam passed with flying colors (Ma...
Any discussion of the image of God would be incomplete without some elucidation of the glorious future that awaits those who have been renewed in the image of God. This is the prospect of new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells. God's plan of redemption in Christ would be severely truncated if it involved only the "spiritual" salvation...

Oct 29, 2024 · We will have a body in heaven, and it will be the same body we have now. God redeems the whole person, body, soul, and spirit. But our resurrected body will be “heavenly” (1 Corinthians 15:40) “imperishable” (verse 42), glorified (verse 43), “spiritual” (verse 44), immortal (verse 53), and bearing Christ’s image (verse 49). So, a ...

Jun 6, 2023 · We now know that the Hebrew word tselem (“image”) is actually something concrete. It refers to a statue or an idol in a temple. With that insight in mind, I think it’s important to recognize that to be God’s image is to be physical — to be embodied and to thereby represent the presence of God in the world. God made creation and he ...
