"LIVE FOR CHRIST!"

Genesis 1:24-27                             (ESV)
"24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to "their" kinds-livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to "their" kinds." And it was so.
25 And GOD made the beasts of the earth according to "their" kinds and the livestock according to "their" kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to "its" kind. And GOD saw that it was good.
26 Then GOD said, "Let US make man in OUR image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in HIS own image, in the image of GOD HE created him; male and female HE created them."



GOD is far bigger than humans can imagine with our finite minds.  Louis Gigglio has a YouTube video about the vastness of the Universes, and he readily admits even THAT video  underestimates WHO my GOD really is.  The song "How big is GOD" says "HE's big enough to rule HIS mighty universe, Yet SMALL ENOUGH to live within my heart"!

GOD made the animals according to "their own kinds", but HE made man and woman "in HIS own image".  John 4:24 says GOD is a Spirit, so if we are created in HIS likeness, it stands to reason that we are a Spirit.  These bodies are only rentals were are wearing for a limited time.  Soon we will wear the fine clothes of our Heavenly bodies!

According to the English Standard Version of the Bible, GOD created male and female separately.  GOD had a plan and a purpose for man and woman.  The enemy has attempted to circumvent GOD's plan from the beginning.  However, a fake and a fraud can't emulate a plan and a purpose!  Romans 1:24-32 says GOD "gave them up to dishonorable passions".  GOD has an all voluntary army, and if we choose not to serve in HIS army, HE respects our decision.

As I have posted many times, C.S. Lewis has a quote that I have on my computer.  It says "You don't have a soul.  You ARE a Soul.  You have a body"!  We are created in HIS image, a living SOUL!  When JESUS came into my heart, I had to die to allow HIM room to move in.  Everyday I have to continue to die to myself (Romans 6) and allow CHRIST to live through me!  I pray that I will continue die to self and sin and "LIVE FOR CHRIST"!
