BIBLE READING: Genesis 1:25-30
Special Verse: Matthew 5:13
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
God made man in his image and from the get go, he told man what his purpose on earth was. This wasthat he should live a life of dominion, unfortunately, it didn't take too long for man to fall away from it. As a result, Jesus had to come to show man what the God life looked like. I know that the life God wants me to live is demonstrated in Genesis 1 and 2, along with what is said about Jesus in the gospels. Any other lifestyle falls short of God's perfect plan.
This is why Romans 8:22 tells us that the whole creation is travailing and waiting for the manifestation of the Son of God. The time to stop settling for anything less than the God kind of life is now. We start by believing it is possible to live a life of complete dominion and then start working towards it. We all are aware that the world is in serious trouble. We are its only hope. God put us here, not so we can go to heaven when we die but to be his light. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever more. This means he wants to operate through us to turn things around.
