Creator

Dec. 13 Creator
God Created us in His own image-an image of never-ending strength and life without end.
We were Created by God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in their own Image and Likeness. We were created for eternity from the Beginning. Look closely at the verse Gen. 1:26 because it reveals our Triune God by using the word Us. Just something to look at
נַעשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ בִּדְמוּתֵנוּ in the Interlinear Hebrew-English NIV Old Testament notice the suffix נוּ means "us". All together it says let-us-make man in-image-of-us in-likeness-of-us.
We were made for God, by God, and in Gods Image. We are to give thanks and praise for simply being here at all. Everything else becomes very insignificant when we give thanks that God has allowed us to be. Gen. 1:26-27 "God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them." Think about the authority we have been given over the earth, which God Himself created. He created it just for us.
What a thought to know just as God is 3, but One, we are also many parts, but together one being. The most important part I believe is the spirit indwelt by the Spirit. It is God within us that molds us into the true image of God. It is this that we must continually focus upon as we live each day. It is this power, the power of God Himself, that we must submit to, so that our image is in His image

God Bless You All,
