Babel Session 2: My Profile

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Technology and image are connected.

The way we use technology says a lot about who we think we are and how we want to represent ourselves.

TENSION

With technology, we can shape how others see us.

Technology gives us the tools to make ourselves into the image we want.

It’s easy to forget who we really are—the person God created us to be.

TRUTH

Genesis 1:26–27 CSB

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.

Technology gives us the tools to make ourselves into the image we want.

It’s easy to forget who we really are—the person God created us to be.

TRUTH

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them ( NIV).

You have value because you were created by God to resemble God.

You bear His image. You always have and you always will—nothing changes that.

Genesis tells us that our image, based on who God is, doesn’t change.

Our image is wrapped up in every aspect of our lives.

Because of technology we can be whoever we think we ought to be—and disregard what God has already said to be true of us.

APPLICATION

With all the opportunities to create any kind of image we want, we have lost sight of the one image that is real.

Technology wasn’t created to redefine who we are as individuals and determine where we fit.

God’s image is in you and on you, and it isn’t going away.

Who are you really? Who does God say you are? Who has God determined you to be?

LANDING

What image are you trusting in?

What image are you putting your confidence in?

You are who your Creator intended you to be.
