Title of Your Report
God created human beings in his divine image, and as such, they represent the pinnacle of his creation. As bearers of God’s image, men and women engage in rational thought, experience emotions, enjoy relationships with one another and with God, and exercise dominion as God’s ambassadors here on earth. While the introduction of sin into creation has defaced God’s image in humanity, the divine image has not been entirely God’s plan for human flourishing so that God can glorify him through his creation all over the world he created.
The answer to how we become better human beings and flourish is in (Matthew 12:29-31 ESV ) Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these. commanded us to live and love others around us. ”Jesus's answer: God's purpose for all humanity is to love him with all of our heart, mind, and soul, while we use our time, energy, talents, and resources to keep His commandments and love others just as much we love ourselves. Who is our neighbor; wives, husbands, co-workers, and enemies. When we hide this commandment in our hearts all areas of life we can see real human flourishing. Genesis 2;5-21 NLT God placed adam in the garden and told him to watch over and govern the garden. God also told adam that he could enjoy all of the garden but don’t eat from the tree of knowledge good and evil, and also a wife Eve to help him in the garden. God gave us purpose, community and directioof the n.Before sin came into the world, God made the world so humans can floursh. Our disobedience sin came into the world and polluted everything that was good. Sin brings a greed, lusts, etc which is the real fight we see trying to keep us from not flourishing as a result from the fall. Good new Jesus died on the cross and rose again for our sins, we are about to live in the kingdom of God here on earth. I plan to become a pastor and fight for the kingdom of God, so other can be freed and God can restore all brokenness and eventually turn back into what God intended before the fall.
