In this sermon, we examined how we are made in the image of God while also existing as created, finite beings. To be in the image of God does not mean we look like Him physically, but that we were created to reflect who God is. We see this in Genesis 1 and 2 in three ways: We have stewardship over God’s other creation, we have rationality and choice, and we are designed to be in relationship. While we are image bearers of an all-powerful God, we are also created beings and, therefore, we are limited and finite. This is a good thing and is according to God’s design! Even before sin entered the world, we see that Adam needed help, that he didn’t always make the right choices, and that he needed God to provide him with suitable relationship. We often live with the pressure to be more than we were created to be or with the thought that our limited nature is a weakness. Instead, when we rightly recognize our limits and our reliance on God, we reflect God in a way that honors who we were created to be and gives glory to Him.
