God had unlimited options when He created man. Just think of all the amazing and ‘strange’ variety He created in animals, birds, insects & fish. All kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, abilities… just mind-boggling awesome! But He said, “Let us make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness…”. (Genesis 1:26 KJV) Then He says in verses 27 & 30: “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him;”. “And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.”
God hasn’t changed. He STILL says it is very good, that man be in His image. Can we imagine what God felt when man lost His image? Can we understand how much God wants man to be restored to His image?
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 [KJV]
“…ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:” Colossians 3:9,10 [KJV]
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 [KJV]
God SO desires that! He’s made a way. He’s made us a new creature… a new creation: and I am very sure, that He has not made this NEW creation inferior to the first! I believe that, and that’s where I’m going!
