Humanity - What Does It Mean To Be Human

Speaker Notes

One Plank in our Scaffolding - Man Was Created

John 1:3
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Colossians 1:16
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

Hebrews 11:3
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Genesis 2:7
7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

”Imago Dei” - In The Image Of God

Two Implications:
1 - You are Not An Accident
2 - We Have a Calling, a Purpose
- we have an obligation to be like Our Creator, in Love and Moral Excellence
- “Put on the New Self”: Compassion, Kindness, Humility, Meekness, Patience
