- 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.

Apr 5, 2017 · Jesus is the Very Image of God. The good news is that God in His grace is restoring His image through the work of Christ. God does this because Jesus is the very image of God. Paul makes this claim twice in his writings: He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15).

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.

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...

Today’s passage states that Jesus “ is the image of the invisible God,” but this is a different concept in comparison to Genesis 1:26. Jesus is the Son of God (Mark 1:1), and He came to earth with the Father’s authority. Furthermore, Jesus is God (Titus 2:13) and “ the firstborn over all creation. ” “Firstborn” often refers to ...

A central Pauline teaching is that in regeneration men receive the image of God. Jesus is the image and fullness of God, and men therefore receive the image of God by sharing in what Christ is. The image of God which Christians receive is really, but only partially, possessed in this life.
Jun 26, 2023 · In Colossians 1:15, Paul states that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, showing how Jesus is representative of God Himself. In contrast to the rest of humanity, Jesus does not have a tarnished image of God; rather, He is “an exact representation of his being” (Hebrews 1:3).
