The Image of Christ - Part 6
Notes
Transcript
22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror.
24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.
27 So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.
What is an image?
A representation of the form of a person.
One that closely or exactly resembles another.
A vivid description or representation.
To mirror or reflect.

4 How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye?
5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
6 “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.
16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
Don’t Argue With An Unholy Person
