Reflect & Apply

Understanding that you are made in God's image — both in outward form and in character — has profound implications for how you view yourself, your body, and your daily conduct before God.

1

Reconsider What It Means to Be Made in God's Image

Many have been taught that bearing God's image is purely spiritual or symbolic — but Scripture and inspired writing both affirm that man bears God's image in outward resemblance and in character. God has a form. He walks, speaks, writes, and feels. Jesus, who is the express image of the Father, came in a human body — and that body is now glorified in heaven forever.

Does knowing that your physical form reflects God's own form change how you regard your body? How should it?
What does it mean to you personally that God "repented," "was grieved," and "rejoiced with singing" — that He experiences real emotions?

"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." — Genesis 1:27

2

Honor God's Image in Your Body

Because your body is made in the image of God and is also the temple of His Spirit, how you treat it is a spiritual matter. Destroying the body through harmful substances, neglect, or immoral practices is described as the work of Satan — who is in enmity with God and seeks to deface the image God placed in you.

In what practical ways can you honor the image of God in your own body this week — in what you eat, drink, how you rest, and how you move?
Are there habits you have tolerated that work against God's image in you? What step will you take to address one of them?

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own." — 1 Corinthians 6:19

3

Seek the Restoration of God's Image in Character

The image of God in man was marred by sin — not destroyed, but defaced. Redemption is the restoration of that image: in character, in righteousness, in love, and in holiness. The goal of every Christian is to be conformed to the image of Christ, who is the express image of the Father.

Which aspects of God's character — love, patience, mercy, justice, joy — are you most longing to have restored in you?
Pray this prayer aloud today:
"Father, I thank You that You made me in Your image — in form and in character. I confess that sin has marred that image in me. Restore in me the likeness of Your Son. Sanctify my body, my mind, and my will. Let me reflect Your glory to those around me. I am Yours."

"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another." — 2 Corinthians 3:18
