This is the written account of Adam’s family line. When God created mankind, He made them in the likeness of God. Genesis 5:1
In the first book of the Bible the creation story is told twice. Chapter five begins with the words above. Once again it is stated, “In the likeness of God.”
God is Holy and we were made in His likeness, but from the moment sin entered our Holiness was compromised. However, God maintained a means of restoration. By man’s freewill we accept God’s authority and believe that His Son Jesus gave His life in place of ours as payment for sin. When we chose these things of God over the temptations of the world, we are returned to the Holiness of God.
Satan would have you believe this is an impossible ideal. It is not. We are God’s crowning joy, a perfect reflection. Look to Him and mirror His love, His action, His passion. In this way we bring Glory to His likeness.
Have a Wonderful Day,
