In this Liberty Students study from our Meet Your Maker series, we learned what it really means that God created us in His image, if we’re still in God’s image, and how Jesus restores His image in us. The Bottom Line for the night was: “The only way you Continue reading

Do you believe in curses? I sure do. What does it mean that humanity is cursed? How did humanity become cursed? Why would God allow humanity created in His image to be cursed? We studied two weeks ago that God created humanity in His image. Then we studied how Jesus is the perfect image of God. And now how humanity is cursed with sin. When Satan tempted Adam and Eve in the garden, they decided to believe Satan rather than God and then became Satan worshipers. Sin is simply Satan worship. Through Adam’s sin, all humanity and creation are cursed with sin. God didn’t just retaliate with the curse, but God simply announced what the natural consequences are when you separate yourself from Him. Now all humanity is born separated from God and must be brought back to Him by the blood of Christ. The most interesting part of this passage though are the curses that God announced. They specifically deal with how Adam and Eve (men and women) are supposed to live out their gender. Gender is such a huge part of being created in God’s image that its nearly impossible to miss its importance in Scripture. So this study is all about how all humanity has been cursed with sin and how the curse directly affects our gender. Check it out!

Jacob Fowler (Graduate of CBSM and The University of Mobile) preaches this strong message on understanding the image of God through Jesus. God says that Jesus IS His image in perfect exactness. So we must understand our humanity, our selves, our purpose through Jesus alone. Check out this awesome message as Jacob lays it down in a way teens can understand.

What exactly is the image of God? What is it about humanity that images Him? What does “image” even mean? This new sermon series is going to answer those questions and many more about this tough theological issue. We believe that the answers are both practical and life changing! This is the start of a month long series that gets into who we are as humans, why we are created as males and females, and how we live out our humanity best for Jesus.

Go ahead and be thinking to yourself: “In what ways are humans like God and not like God?” What does it mean that we were created in God’s image? Did God fully make us like Him? Can we fully become like Him? Did He share everything true about Himself partly with us? Can we become more like Him if we’re already in His image? Continue reading

To start off our discussion on the doctrine of humanity right, try answering this quiz:
1. In order to humanly live as God intended for us, our best example is Adam (before sin). T or F
2. It would be unbiblical to say that humanity is the most precious part of creation to God because His Son is most important to Him. T or F
3. Pick A or B:
A. Before the creation of the world, God’s ultimate desire was that He would have people to love. So He created them and sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for them after they fell into sin so that now those who believe in Jesus can live with God forever and rule over His creation for all eternity.
B. Before the creation of the world, God’s ultimate desire was to glorify His Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, He created humanity so that Jesus could ultimately be their Savior and King Who would rule over all creation for all eternity.
Let’s see how you did. (Answers: 1. F (Jesus is best human) 2. F (Jesus is not a creation) 3. B Continue reading
