In Episode 4 of In His Image, we’re going to explore The Perfect Image of God and discover why Jesus is more than the One who came to save us. He is the perfect revelation of what God is really like, and He shows us what it looks like for a human being to live in harmony with God. From the beginning, mankind was created in God’s image and likeness. We were created to represent Him on the earth and express His character through the way we live, love, make decisions, and influence the world around us. But when our concept of God becomes distorted, it affects how we see ourselves, how we interpret Scripture, and ultimately how we live. Jesus changes all of that. Colossians 1:15 tells us that Jesus is “the image of the invisible God.” Instead of trying to understand God through religious tradition, fear, or our own imagination, we can look at Jesus and see what God is really like. And there’s an incredible personal benefit to this: when you see God as He really is, you begin to understand who you were created to be. Jesus showed us what a person yielded to the Holy Spirit can look like. He demonstrated God’s character, goodness, authority, and love in everyday life. Then He told His followers, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also” (John 14:12). This isn’t about trying harder to imitate Jesus. It’s about taking the limits off God, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you, and discovering what becomes possible when your heart comes into harmony with the image and likeness of God.
