Blessing No:[1] The Image of God
When God created Adam, he was created in the image and the likeness of God. Today when we are born-again, we are born in the Spirit to be raised in the image and the likeness of Christ. By the power of the Holy Blood of Jesus that washes the stains of every sin, we enter into the genealogy of God. When we believe and accept Jesus, we have to truly repent our sins and decide to sin no more and please God by doing His perfect will in the mind of Christ.
We willfully obey God's commandments to joyfully participate in the Divine Nature and maintain consistently the spotless and glorious image for ever. When we reach an age to hear the word of God and believe, without any compulsion from outside, to please God we should exercise our own free will to get baptized in the water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Christ is the most radiant image of the invisible God and those who commune with Him are predestined to become conformed to the image of God. When we become desperate for the communion with God, Lord sends His Spirit on our flesh and baptize us in the Holy Ghost and the Fire. With that glorious clothing and we cloth ourselves with Christ the King of Glory. There the image and the likeness of God in us shine as the Glorious light. We are appointed as the light of the world.
All over the world people are image conscious. What costumes to purchase? Which place to eat? What watches to buy? What colors to choose???…the list is endless when you have more disposable money to spend. In the corporate advertising, billions are spend on Brand building. Brands are the little gods in the modern world. Here in this world every born-again one gets the most secure image from God, as the Divine inheritance provided we continually keep God's word with all our strength and run till the end to finish well in His glory. The born-again children of God are a brand of people made for praise, fame and honor. They carry the brand-marks of Jesus in their body. They commune with God and joyfully give Him all the glory of the praise, fame and honor, they posses as a blessing in their lives on earth. Friends, if you have nothing to give, then give yourself to Christ, He will bless you and make you fruitful through His image and likeness. Amen…VJ Traven
