       MAN, THE IMAGE OF GOD

                      *TEXT*
                GENESIS 1:27
_So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them_. *(KJV)*
               
                    *EXPOSITION*
Throughout the world yesterday our fathers were celebrated globally. Most people used their daddies picture as the profile picture of various social media. All these were signs of love, respect, etc. This morning I want us to look at The Man from God's perspective. Firstly; Man is the image and glory of God and secondly a male and female. Man and woman were both created in the "_image and likeness of God_". On the basis of this image, they could respond to and have fellowship with God and uniquely reflect His love, glory and holiness.

Any Man on earth must first attract or reflect Gods image, before his or her being is acknowledged. It is sinful not to reflect Gods image, and try to be of your own; this does not speak well of the man. Being of Gods image is the ideal pedigree all must strive to attain. Any person who has been created in the image and likeness of God must love others, respect others for if all these things are done Gods image is always made anew. May the Lord God continue to grant us all this grace to be anew in our daily lives through His word. Amen
