Image
Image is truly everything!
Webster dictionary
Image: a visual representation of something
In Romans 8 Paul is teaching us about our life in Christ.
No condemnation (No longer guilty)
We according to the Spirit and not of the Flesh
Paul is teaching pneumatology - noo·muh·taa·luh·jee (The work of the Holy Spirit)
The Spirit makes intercession for us! (According to the will of God)
Romans 8 is a powerful chapter but also it contains our foundational scripture for why we are Image Church!
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good”
Those who love God…
Love: to have a great affection or care for or loyalty towards.
John 14:15 (ESV)
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
Loving Him / Means I follow Him…
Things work together for my good because I follow His plan for my life.
The “those’ who love Him are the “those” who are Called!
Called: summoned adj.
— denoting someone whose participation or presence has been officially requested (for something); especially a request to which refusal is not an option.
purpose (intention) n. — an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides planned actions.
I’m called to love God’s purpose for my life!
What is His purpose for my life?
This is our foundational scripture for Image Church
It reveals our purpose…
“For those whom he foreknew”
Foreknew: (personally) v. — to befriend or be acquainted with someone in a familiar way ahead of time or before meeting; implying an exclusivity (Ex-clu-sivity) of choice relative to those not befriended.
Foreknowledge is an aspect of God’s knowledge of everything
Jeremiah states that “The word of the Lord came to me saying.”
This is important because God did not have to speak…
God speaking was actually God calling Him
Jeremiah 1:5 isn’t about us!
It’s speaking of God’s foreknowledge of how and when He knew each of us would come into existence.
Key word “I”
This foreknowledge means God loved us before we ever came into existence.
So, before God ever formed you in the womb, HE LOVED YOU.
Predestined: to predetermine v. — to determine something ahead of time or before its occurrence.
God Predetermine without my input…
Without my opinion....
Why because he is in love with me…
“to be conformed”
Conformed: like-natured adjs.
— similar in representative essence or nature to something else.
“To the Image”
Image: likeness n. — similarity in appearance, character, or nature between persons or things.
“Of His Son”
Christ!
Two areas that I want to deal with!
Mortal & Immortality
Mortal - Subject to death
Immortality n. — the quality or state of never dying.
God’s purpose for our life is to be conformed into the image of Christ…
First in a mortal way…
Jesus came to teach us how to live and represent the father in this earthly body…
He taught us how to:
Love
Forgive
Give
Disciple
Pray
Our Faith
Money
Sacrificial living
What does it mean to be “Well Built”
How to serve
Firstborn of all creation - (Preeminence) Highly exalted!
New Flash!
We are the visible manifestation of the Invisible God… .
God created man to reflect Him (Mirror)
Because God lives in us....
My conduct / Should image how Christ Conducted himself!
Jesus said, I come to do the will of the Father!
Doing His will was God visible manifestation of His agenda
I come to fulfill the Law… The law of my Father!
Fulfilling the law was God visibly revealing His characteristics!
He did it in a mortal body, just like us!
When I operate in the Law of Christ - I am being the visible manifestation of God
When I am doing the will of the father - I am being the visible manifestation of God
When I am not.....
I am still being an Image!
#1 I am being conformed to Image of Christ - Right now in this mortal body.....
“In order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”
#2 I am being conformed to be the Image of Christ in my immortality…
God’s purpose for my life is to be “among many brothers.”
