Man the ability to choose to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, this applies to all on a daily basis. Everyday we have the option to be connected to the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The root of our inability to overcome identity issues, fears, and having a clear understanding of the works of the Holy Spirit and the flesh is process we walk every day. We must be united in the Spirit to see the purpose of our lives when we abide in Jesus.

The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is our selfishness, pride, fear, rejection, and many works of the flesh.

The moment you dive into this book you begin to start to see yourself rightly, and you literally have the eyes of Christ placed on your perspective. This book is broken down into three parts, with five to seven chapters each. Each part is a stepping stone into how to walk in the Spirit to your original design. The summary of each part drips below to take you on a journey for this incredible book of inspiring revelation.

In Judeo-Christian tradition God created the cosmos and he said it was good. God created everything. “Yahweh” is a form of God’s name in Hebrew which is best translated to “I am who I am”. God is this mysterious divine spirit that was created before time and lives forever. God is the “tremendom”, the holy, fearful and overwhelming mystery that people can only wonder about and try to wrap their heads around. Jews and Christians believe that human beings are created in the image of God. Everyone is created perfect and equal despite physical appearances. Humans have free will like God. In a way we are god over ourselves in the way that we govern and make decisions for ourselves. God also dwells in us and around us. God created human beings good.

It is within in our time, that the feasibility of the future has become present. Yet, it is also in this time that racial and religious backgrounds often define someone as a human. This is regressive and is certainly not human. It is in this error, that we find conflict in Imago Dei, or image of God. Countless examples in scripture express that all humans, regardless of region, financial background, or social prestige, are created equally in the image of God.

The sole purpose of this book is to transform the way the reader views his or her life. That means that the reader should understand that he was created to be unique and not anyone else and how to live a life in such way.

Ortberg succeeds in helping his reader understand how to take the revelation of whom he is and apply it to how he lives his life. That results in a better relationship with the Lord as well as

In chapter 12 of his systematic theology, Michael Horton speaks to the question of what it means to be human. He particularly focuses on the meaning of the “Imago Dei” or “image of God” and what exactly it is. After walking through several different anthropological systems, such and Platonism and materialism, Horton focuses on the idea of the image of God being an ethical relationship, as we stand in covenant before our Creator.

truth above makes us enemies of society that’s why state churches love and practice lies! But we are not of the world, we have been chosen out of the world. Therefore, every truth our Lord reveals to us and teaches us, we will lay down our lives to proclaim it! Even so, come Lord Jesus!

In the Christian context, we are tempted to be divided as certain groups, being known and heard in public, as the prominent voices.

They need to be invited into our circles and conversations to create unity, to be heard, loved and accepted as equal and loveable members of the Body of Christ.

As a follower of Jesus, we believe that we are created in the image of God. Unfortunately, through our first father Adam, man has fallen into sin, but it is through Christ Jesus that gave up His life for us to save man from the punishment of God.

In this paper I will explain how understanding the image of God will help me be a better person through my future vocation.
