Created in the Image of God

I believe that the only one who can re-create us is the One who created us in the first place.  So if your watch were out of order, you would not take it to a blacksmith.  If your car needed some overhauling, I am sure you will not take to a plumber.  Or if you needed an operation, you will not go to a machine shop.

Our spiritual problems can only be solved by the God who created us originally.  He created us in His own image and likeness, and He knows all about us.

This Christmas season and by the grace of His Son Jesus Christ, He can re-create us in the likeness of His resurrection through faith in Jesus Christ.  We are recreated and become partakers of His life.

Just as we were born again by the Spirit of God, so we grow and become more like Christ as the Spirit works in our lives.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold all things have become new.”  (2 Corinthians 5:17)  So I tell you brothers and sisters in Christ, this Christmas season do not be chained to the past.  Because you are a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Amen.
