You Bear a
Resemblance to Him
Because God’s promises are unbreakable,
our hope is unshakable.

“So God created mankind in
his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27).
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27).
“With the tongue we praise
our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in
God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and
sisters, this should not be” (James 3:9).
Pop psychology is wrong when it tells you to look inside
yourself and find your value!
According to the Bible, you are good simply because God
made you in his image. Period.
He cherishes you because you bear a resemblance to him.
And you will only be satisfied when you engage in your role as an image bearer
of God.
Such was the view of King David:
“As for me, I shall behold your face in
righteousness;
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.”
(Psalm 17:15 ESV).
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.”
(Psalm 17:15 ESV).
How much sadness would evaporate if every person simply
chose to believe this: I was made for God’s glory and am being made
into his image.
Why does God love you with an everlasting love? It has
everything to do with whose you are.
You are his. And because God’s promises are unbreakable,
our hope is unshakable.
As an added bonus to Max's message, please be blessed
with Lauren Daigle's new song "You Say" which emphasizes how
desperately we need to believe we are who God says we are, not the world!
