“Who Do You Identify With?”

 “Who Do You Identify With?”

 

So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.  Genesis 1: 27

In the Book of Genesis, we see the book begins with the very FIRST of Creation. The Almighty God, in His INFINITE WISDOM, CREATED (made) ALL that is or ever has been.  He made HUMAN LIFE in His IMAGE; this IMAGE was passed on to HUMANS ONLY.   

“IMAGE” here, is used FIGURATIVELY, because God does NOT have a HUMAN FORM.  It means that MANKIND, shares, though they are IMPERFECT and FINITE, in the NATURE of GOD, which are life, personality, truth, wisdom, love, holiness, and justice.  And this means that they have the ability to have SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP with their CREATOR.

The “IMAGE” of GOD in MEN and WOMEN, has been MARRED by SIN.  But because of GOD’S MERCY, GRACE, and UNFAILING LOVE for MANKIND, He has a WAY for them to REPENT and COME to Him through the BLOOD of His ONLY SON, JESUS, the ONLY WAY to be SAVED from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. 

HELL was NOT meant for MANKIND, but MANKIND REBELLED AGAINST GOD.  And because of the REBELLION and UNCONFESSED SIN, it will become their ETERNAL DWELLING PLACE. 

I think Satan, the devil, heads up that group of people.  We can SEE and FEEL the effects of his handiwork.  If you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to GOD through His SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then Satan is who you will IDENTIFY with, and HELL will be your FINAL ABODE. However, you have an OPPORTUNITY NOW, to CHANGE your DESTINY. 

To do that, you MUST COME to JESUS and ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU and is ALIVE in HEAVEN at the RIGHT HAND of God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and IDENTIFY with the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can!!  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
