Embracing Our Divine Identity: From Image-Bearers to Reflections of God's Love

Jun 22, 2025    Debbie Hogg

In this powerful message, we're called to embrace our true identity as image-bearers of God. The central theme revolves around Genesis 1:26, where God says 'Let us make man in our image and likeness.' This isn't just symbolic language - it's a profound reality that we're meant to reflect God's nature. We're challenged to break free from religious duty and self-doubt, and instead live from a place of full acceptance in God's love. The speaker uses the analogy of the sun and moon to illustrate how we're meant to reflect God's glory, especially in dark times. Just as the moon has no light of its own but reflects the sun's light, we're called to reflect God's love and character in a world that desperately needs it. This message encourages us to dive deeper into understanding God's love, reminding us that we inherit all that Christ is and has. It's a call to maturity, to step into our role as stewards of the planet, and to let God's love transform us into what He loves.
