When God made man, it was in His image and likeness. Did man truly look like the God-Man; Jesus?
Or is the image of God in our soul?
Yes and Yes. The image of God was the image of the Man and Woman before they sinned.
We, today still have the image on the outside but a small piece. But mostly we have the image of God in our soul. But when Adam and Eve fell from grace; the image on the outside changed to where we don't reveal the true image of Christ but each person has a slight image of Christ in us all.
With all the sin in the world and when we fall from grace; it is so hard to see the image of God in us.
So, let us now work on how we can show God in the world.
To be able to show God in the world; we must stay out and away from sinful people or places or items. We must go to confession and remain sin free to start having the image of God in the world.
Man is to reflect the image of God in the world and so we must be free from sin.
The image of God has been removed from many countries because of the horrible sins of abortion, assisted suicide, trying to get homo-sexual married or cheating spouses. The image of God needs to be in the world.
Chapter II: How can we bring the image of God into the world?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us talk about it. The man: male and female; are to become friends of Christ.
To be a friend of Christ means that we are to follow the commandments given by God to Moses. Follow Christ's examples on how He lived, prayed and everything he did and said.
So, the Man is to live the example of God; Jesus.
The Man is to die to self and let God increase in him. This way the people will see God in each person.
The Man must be ready for their passion which will lead them to their crucifixion. To reflect God into the world will lead us closer to the life, passion, death and rising of Christ and will cause us to grow closer Christ and the people we come in contact with; will see what it means to be truly human.
To be a true man and woman in the world and how we are to live in this world.
Chapter III: Why is it important to reflect God into the world?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The importance to reflect God into the world is to keep all things that God created holy or to go to those people who are living a sinful life and to teach them about God and to show them God in our life and how we are to live.
We go to those people who are ignorant of God and we go and to let God sanctify them through us. Perfect models are St. Jean Marie Vianney, St. Padre Pio and Jesus; Himself. Follow these three.
God bless
