Hello, friendplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:33.231
This will be Season 5, episode 6, s5e6.
00:00:33.231 --> 00:00:38.712
It will air on 2-10-2025.
00:00:38.712 --> 00:00:41.908
The title is Created in His Image.
00:00:41.908 --> 00:00:58.189
Then God said Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.
00:00:58.189 --> 00:01:00.314
That's Genesis 1 26.
00:01:01.521 --> 00:01:05.212
The most central characteristic and attributes is that God is love.
00:01:05.212 --> 00:01:15.691
It is his love that creates and operates and holds everything together in perfect harmony and creates a life of abundance and eternal growth in all things.
00:01:15.691 --> 00:01:26.375
The image of God is the foundational concept that we use to define our dignity and purpose of our life and work.
00:01:26.375 --> 00:01:35.311
We discuss that our worth is directly connected or we discover that our worth is directly connected to our Creator.
00:01:35.311 --> 00:01:43.490
Being made in God's image gives us value and the ability to worship and fellowship with God.
00:01:43.490 --> 00:01:47.762
The closer we draw to God, the more our image looks like Christ.
00:01:47.762 --> 00:01:56.203
Because we have the same godly traits, we also have the ability to rule and reign with our Heavenly Father.
00:01:57.805 --> 00:02:08.421
You know Jesus came to earth and died and he suffered for us, jesus being part of the Godhead, god the Father, god the Son, god, the Holy Spirit.
00:02:08.421 --> 00:02:18.044
God the Father spoke the words and brought this world, planted the seed and brought this word.
00:02:18.044 --> 00:02:21.651
Jesus is the word made flesh from the words.
00:02:21.651 --> 00:02:23.625
He's the action that you see on the earth.
00:02:23.625 --> 00:02:35.288
The Holy Spirit is the result of Jesus' work, or the Spirit of Christ, or however you want to say it, but they all three work together and they're all one God.
00:02:35.288 --> 00:02:37.515
They're not three, they're one God.
00:02:37.515 --> 00:02:39.621
They have three different functions.
00:02:39.621 --> 00:02:45.269
The best way I know to explain it is you have water that's liquid.
00:02:45.269 --> 00:02:53.765
You have water that's ice and you have water that's just nothing but steam, and that's three parts, but it's still water.
00:02:53.765 --> 00:02:55.290
H2o still water.
00:02:55.290 --> 00:03:01.246
There are no ordinary people.
00:03:01.246 --> 00:03:05.562
You have never met a mere mortal, the weight of glory.
00:03:05.743 --> 00:03:19.433
Cs Lewis quoted that People that you see every day, even the ones that you are at a low stature or you put at a low stature, are the ones who will live forever under judgment or salvation.
00:03:19.433 --> 00:03:24.479
Even the most obscure person in God's eyes is valuable.
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.639
Even the most obscure person in God's eyes is valuable.
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:35.408
Today, some people focus on our dignity and self-worth without much mention of our sinfulness.
00:03:35.408 --> 00:03:46.453
On the other hand, in the past and in many events of the present, the emphasis has been on our utter unworthiness and sinfulness, without any note of our dignity or God's grace.
00:03:46.453 --> 00:03:49.447
In other words, we're put on this earth.
00:03:49.447 --> 00:03:54.592
A lot of us have the idea that we're just a bunch of buffoons fumbling around the earth's running out.
00:03:54.592 --> 00:03:59.382
We have crisis after crisis and fight after fight and strife after strife.
00:03:59.382 --> 00:04:13.860
We fight, we argue, we try to impose our rights on somebody else, instead of making this world a better place by getting an agreement.
00:04:14.324 --> 00:04:15.310
Stop and think about it.
00:04:15.310 --> 00:04:19.735
God's word adds and multiplies.
00:04:19.735 --> 00:04:23.834
The devil's words subtracts and divides.
00:04:23.834 --> 00:04:27.735
God has come to give us life, and to give it abundantly.
00:04:27.735 --> 00:04:33.257
The devil has come to kill, to steal and destroy John 10.10.
00:04:33.257 --> 00:04:37.797
And then Christ said but I have come to give you life, and that more abundantly.
00:04:37.797 --> 00:04:42.295
God is for you, for us, he's for me, he's for you.
00:04:42.295 --> 00:04:44.752
He wants to see you succeed.
00:04:44.752 --> 00:04:50.274
That doesn't mean in greed and overtaking and power and getting ruler.
00:04:50.274 --> 00:04:54.891
It means that you are with your fellow man that God created.
00:04:56.112 --> 00:05:03.394
While I'm thinking about it, god created Adam and we know he named all the animals and everything else.
00:05:03.394 --> 00:05:16.831
And if there was no helpmate or helper made for Adam, so God put him in a deep sleep, took a rib, closed up the place where he took the rib and created Eve.
00:05:16.831 --> 00:05:25.353
Why you ever wonder just why he didn't make the dust and make an Eve and do it that way.
00:05:25.353 --> 00:05:33.093
Well, adam had already taken the animals that came from the dust of the earth.
00:05:33.093 --> 00:05:44.134
So if he made Eve new and from the dust of the earth, then you would have had Adam and Eve, but Eve would have been on the same level as the animals.
00:05:44.134 --> 00:05:51.956
Adam was complete and full of God and full of glory and full of love and full of righteousness.
00:05:51.956 --> 00:05:58.718
And Adam, the only thing that could help Adam was somebody in his class, somebody like him.
00:05:58.718 --> 00:06:00.911
And that's where Eve came in.
00:06:02.144 --> 00:06:06.291
One translation, sort of on a humorous note.
00:06:06.291 --> 00:06:11.160
When Adam saw Eve, he said wow, this is what I really needed.
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.293
My wife helped me so much.
00:06:15.293 --> 00:06:18.334
She's my helper, my friend, my lover.
00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:21.934
We've had over 52 plus years of marriage.
00:06:21.934 --> 00:06:33.713
We have a good time together, but we have a good time together when we work and cooperate and work with each other, not when we fight and argue and insist on our own way.
00:06:33.713 --> 00:06:35.857
The better I treat her.
00:06:35.857 --> 00:06:41.553
In other words, the more I treat her like a queen, the more I get treated like a king.
00:06:41.553 --> 00:06:54.288
We're not competing, we're partners and we are turning this planet and our lifestyle into what God desires and God wants and God is pleasing.
00:06:54.288 --> 00:07:04.738
We're going to get to go to heaven one of these days, pretty soon, in the rapture, and there we will still be one flesh and we'll be together forever and eternity.
00:07:04.738 --> 00:07:07.951
I don't quite know understand how it all works.
00:07:07.951 --> 00:07:20.386
I just know I'm looking forward to the day that I can really honestly love my wife and she return the love like, just like we do with God, the Father.
00:07:23.230 --> 00:07:25.194
God gave man a lease on his creation.
00:07:25.194 --> 00:07:39.240
Unfortunately, adam sinned and gave up his Now, the earth, and man could not reproduce love, which is the main element necessary to create and grow himself in our fellowship.
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:52.196
So it took Jesus Christ coming, becoming sin for us, going to hell, defeating the devil, being raised from the dead and seated at the right hand of the Father.
00:07:52.196 --> 00:08:07.408
At the right hand of the Father and consequently, in addition, when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we die with Him and we're raised with Him in glory, and we have the glory of the Lord living inside of us.
00:08:07.949 --> 00:08:16.793
The Holy Spirit, jesus, god, the Father, the Trinity, lives inside me when I say the Kingdom of God's over here, over there.
00:08:16.793 --> 00:08:20.396
Don't be fooled with it and go looking over there, over there or in somebody else.
00:08:20.396 --> 00:08:23.012
The kingdom of God is within you.
00:08:23.012 --> 00:08:26.675
When you bow your head, you're looking at the kingdom.
00:08:26.675 --> 00:08:29.593
Don't look higher than the ceiling.
00:08:29.593 --> 00:08:37.546
Don't reach up for God, trying to get him to come down, or don't try to bring him up from the past and have him do something again.
00:08:37.546 --> 00:08:39.750
God is in you.
00:08:39.750 --> 00:08:41.832
He lives and abides in you.
00:08:41.832 --> 00:08:52.197
Through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are changed into Jesus's image and likeness and therefore become as he is in this world.
00:08:52.825 --> 00:08:54.269
First John 4 17.
00:08:54.269 --> 00:09:10.994
By accepting God's call, we are equipped with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and have the ability to defeat the devil and return this creation, including ourselves, and restore his grace, mercy and salvation that existed before the fall of man.
00:09:10.994 --> 00:09:27.801
With our dignity and value restored, we must establish our inner beliefs, behaviors, moral and ethics and get back to being conformed to the image and likeness of Jesus Christ, in other words, god's Word.
00:09:27.801 --> 00:09:42.475
We need to become God-living and working miracles inside me, minded, it is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God.
00:09:42.475 --> 00:09:46.775
That is our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
00:09:46.775 --> 00:09:48.964
1 Corinthians 1.30.
00:09:49.969 --> 00:09:53.874
Think about it you are a child of God.
00:09:53.874 --> 00:09:56.619
You are a child of God.
00:09:56.619 --> 00:10:04.971
You are a child of God, the God that created this universe, the heavens, the planets, the stars, the food, the birds, the animals.
00:10:04.971 --> 00:10:17.653
You are a child of God and you have dominion and rule, as long as you do it in love and in the spirit of Jesus Christ and have Jesus Christ living in your heart.
00:10:17.653 --> 00:10:26.756
He who knew no sin was made to be sin for me, that I might be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
00:10:26.756 --> 00:10:28.809
Do I mess up?
00:10:28.809 --> 00:10:29.673
Of course.
00:10:29.673 --> 00:10:30.927
Do I sin?
00:10:30.927 --> 00:10:40.436
Yes, but when I repent and ask God for forgiveness and I am forgiven, I am made clean and righteous and whole before God.
00:10:40.436 --> 00:10:51.889
And when that trumpet blows, when my day on earth is my last day and I close my eyes in eternal sleep, when I take my next breath, it will be in glory.
00:10:51.889 --> 00:10:57.375
You have a blessed day In Jesus' name, amen.
00:10:58.985 --> 00:11:02.537
