RC week 1 devotional due 7/13/
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness...” Genesis 1:26 ESV
James Sire (1976) wrote the following in his book, The Universe Next Door:
Man is created in the image of God . . . [Man} was created good, but through the Fall the image of God became defaced, though not so ruined as not to be capable of restoration; through the work of Christ God redeemed man and began to process of restoring man to goodness, though any given man may choose to reject that redemption (p. 29-35).
Human beings are all created in the Image of God, and yet are all unique in characteristics and calling.
The Bible provides a host of examples of the different emotions God experiences.
- For this week’s devotional thought, reflect on an emotion that the Bible records as one God experiences and how that same emotion is one that human beings experience as well.
