Section 1: Mankind is Called to Express The Creator’s Image

Expressing The Creator’s image has to do with the way you act, not the way you look. 

You were created in your Creator’s image on purpose. This is the first plan for you and your purpose that your Creator declared: 

 “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”

Expressing the Creator's image transcends physical appearance, focusing instead on mirroring divine qualities through our actions. The Creator crafted us uniquely so that His essence could shine through our individuality. This divine nature is manifest throughout creation, seen in its most glorious forms, like the vibrant and unique colors of a sunset at its peak.

The Creator wants you to mirror His character. He fashioned and crafted you so that His nature could be revealed through your uniqueness. 

We are designed to emulate the Creator’s attributes, much like the example set by Jesus, to embody these qualities fully. Being in the Creator’s image involves being lovely in essence, not just in appearance, as true beauty reflects the Creator's foundational trait: love. This is confirmed in scriptures such as 1 John 4:8, which states that not knowing love is akin to not knowing the Creator, for the Creator is love.

Therefore your Creator’s nature could be best understood through the fruits of the spirit and also in the “love” chapter of the Bible— 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. 

“[The Creator] is patient, [The Creator is kind. [He] does not envy, [He] does not boast, [He] is not proud.  [The Creator] is not rude, [He] is not self-seeking, [He] is not easily angered, [He] keeps no record of wrongs.  [The Creator] does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  [God] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  [The Creator] never fails.” 

We are not called merely to develop holiness but to live out the holiness inherent in our original design. The Creator desires not just adherents of a faith, but sons and daughters who embody His perspectives and visions—reflecting the deep, relational nature first established with humanity in the Garden. This relationship model aims to restore us to our foundational purpose, living in harmony with the Creator’s will and reflecting divine love in every aspect of our lives.
