Conformed to the image of His Son.John Farley
Pastor-Teacher Sunday, July 15, 2018 Conformed to the image of God’s Son Col 1:18-20 All the attributes and activities of God are found in Christ in all their perfection. Eph 1:22-23 Christ is the fullness of God. The church is the fullness of Christ. What is the essence of who God is? Just Omnipresent ( present everywhere) Truth ( I am the Way, and the Truth, ….) In Christ, in the Head, we have access to the human likeness of the attributes of God. Gen 1:26 Rom 8:29-30 We clearly are not now and never will be We have the power of the Spirit available to us. Col 1:9-12 We can attain knowledge, even the knowledge of the Son of God. We will not be immutable – but we can become steadfast, holding onto the Head. We cannot say that we are the resurrection and the life – only Christ is that … …but we have been given eternal life in Christ. Rom 6:23 We will not always be all-loving, but we can walk in love. Eph 4:32 - Eph 5:1-2 We cannot BE God… but we can be imitators of God. 2Co 3:17-18 We can behold His glory, and as we do so, we are being transformed into that same image. Col 1:19-20 Eph 1:8-10
