Start to see who You are, You are so much more than you could ever imagine.
You are... MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD! - Genesis 1:27
Image of God means that we resemble God.
God doesn’t have a body so it’s not in physical form we resemble him in spirit - the immaterial part of man. It is sets man apart from the animal world. Animals don’t have a spirit, they are not made in God’s image as we are.
Everything that we are, as mentioned in the Bible, is a reflection of who God is.
Things such as morals, convictions, relationship, free choice,
We lost a great deal of who we are when we chose a life of sin but when God redeems us, He begins to restore us to the original image of God.
