💁🏻 Concept: Likeness of God
The word likeness in Genesis 1:26 speaks of how humans were created similar to God, though not identical. This means we reflect aspects of God’s nature—such as reason, morality, creativity, and relational capacity—yet we are not divine. Being made in His likeness reminds us of our dignity, purpose, and the special role we have in creation as image-bearers, designed to glorify Him.

📖 Bible Readings: Genesis 1:26
(Psalm 8:4–6; Genesis 2:15; Genesis 1:28; John 15:8; Luke 16:10; Matthew 25:21; James 3:9; Colossians 3:10; Ephesians 4:24; Romans 8:29)

👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:
What does it mean to be made in the likeness of God?
1. Humans are God’s creative rulers. 
2. Humans are God’s developers. 
3. Humans are God’s multipliers.

💪🏼 Applications:
1. Be a creative ruler of everything you have. 
2. Be a developer of everything entrusted to you. 
3. Be a multiplier of everything in your care. 

🎙Discussion:
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, how much of a developer/multiplier are you?

 

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Gracious Father, thank You for creating me in Your likeness. Please help me to reflect You—to think, love, create, and relate in a way that honors You. Forgive me when I fail to live according to that high calling. By Your Spirit, shape me more into Your likeness, restoring what sin has distorted. Help me see others through Your eyes, recognizing their worth and value. May I walk each day reflecting Your image with humility and grace. In the name of Jesus, the perfect image of God, I pray. Amen.
