God Loves

What does it mean to be human? There aren’t many questions more important to life than that. One of the most essential truths of the Christian worldview is that all people are made in the image of God. From this reality we understand our purpose in this world. God made us in his image to represent his rule in his kingdom, to exist in relationship with him, and to reveal his character and glory to the world. This is not just an important theological concept, the image of God has massive implications for our lives and relationships. It teaches us why we exist: to display God’s glory in his rule. It shows us how we ought to live in relationship with other image-bearers, in mutual dignity, honor, and reverence. And it points us to the one we are made for, the full revelation of God’s image, Jesus Christ.
