Image of God

When we think about who God is, its complex. It hurts our brains sometimes. A good way to see a little bit of who God is, is in the people he made in His image. We talked about how God created people in his image to rule the world with Him, create beauty and good things in this world. 
People being made in the image of God has two important things for us to consider. 
1. Because we are made in the image of God, we are beautiful, loved and made with purpose in this world. Feelings of worthlessness and despair are not part of God's design for our lives. 
2. Because people are made in the image of God, as we look at others, we don't see them as lower than us or worthless. But as people who reflect Gods image to us. 

As followers of Jesus we see Jesus reflected in our lives through the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
