In God's Image

January 16, 2019

We often hear that everyone is born in the image of God. But is that entirely true?

Sure, we all have the same basic human form that Adam and Eve had by God’s design. But spiritually, the fall had an impact on all of humanity. As a result, something was lost in the garden of Eden that is only regained in Christ.

Jeff from South Dakota called in to our radio broadcast to ask about being in the image of God and what it means.

In this short video clip, I address Jeff’s question and clarify the truth about being born (or reborn!) in God’s image.
