Theologians have an interesting question. Does Scripture teach that man is no longer in the image of God? Or does it suggest that the image remains but has been grossly defaced? In many ways (the latter) is an even more tragic prospect. We might well be justified in thinking that there could be no greater disaster than that the likeness of God should be exterminated. But in fact there is. What if the image of God, in which His greatness and glory are reflected, becomes a distortion of His character? What if, instead of reflecting His glory, man begins to reflect the very antithesis of God? What if God's image becomes an anti-god? This, essentially, is the affront which fallen man is to God. He takes all that God has lavished upon him to enable him to live in free and joyful obedience, and he transforms it into a weapon by which he can oppose His Maker. The very breath, which God gives him thousands of times each day, he abuses by his sin. The magnitude of his sin is also the measure of his need of salvation.

INSTRUCTIONS

The recommended Gluten-Free Pastry adds 184 calories, 1 starch
choice, 1 1/2 fat.  Try serving the filling hot with potatoes or
toast, or with a breadcrumb topping, or serve in a home made tortilla.
Stir-cook ground meat and onion until meat is no longer pink. (Regular
ground meat is much less expensive than lean.) Drain fat and return
meat to the pan, add spices and stock.  This will take about 15
minutes.

another 15 minutes.  Cool filling about 30 minutes if making pie
crust. Serve hot immediately, refrigerate cooled mixture up to 3
days, or freeze cooled portions up to 3 months.

A Message from our Provider:

“A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart. #Charles Finney”

In light of the profound reality of Jesus' full and uncompromised deity, His incarnation was the most profound possible humiliation. For Him to change in any way or to any degree, even temporarily by the divine decree of His Father, required descent. By definition, to forsake perfection requires taking on some form of imperfection. Yet without forsaking or in any way diminishing His perfect deity or His absolute holiness, in a way that is far beyond human comprehension, the Creator took on the form of the created. The Infinite became finite, the Sinless took sin upon Himself. The very heart of the gospel of redemption is that the Father “made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21). Although that infinitely marvelous and cardinal gospel truth is impossible to understand it is necessary to believe.

John MacArthur
