Forgiving What You Can't Forget: God's Purpose for Salvation through Jesus Christ

At the very foundation of everything that exists lies a profound truth: God created humanity with an extraordinary purpose. This purpose is not merely to exist but to reflect God's character and live in close, loving fellowship with Him. The Bible opens with this truth clearly stated in Genesis 1:27 (CEV): "God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women." This verse reveals that humans were designed in the image of God-not in a physical sense, but reflecting His moral nature, creativity, rationality, and relational capacity. Created in God's Image: What Does It Mean?To be made in God's image means we carry within us a unique likeness to our Creator. Unlike the animals or any other part of creation, humans are imbued with qualities that mirror God's character: Moral Understanding: We have a conscience, a sense of right and wrong, which points to God's holy nature. Relational Capacity: God is Himself relational-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-living in perfect unity and love. Humans, created in His image, are designed for relationships with Him and others. Creativity and Dominion: Just as God is the ultimate Creator, humans reflect His creativity through arts, innovation, and stewardship over the earth. Reason and Will: We possess the ability to think, choose, and make decisions, reflecting God's wisdom and freedom. God did not create us as robots or mere animals but as beings capable of love, worship, and fellowship with Him.
