One Faith: Man: Made in God's Image but Messed Up!

"1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." Ephesians 4:1-6


Fred's Devotional # 12
One Faith: Man: Made in God's Image but Messed Up

Our next Doctrinal statement under “One Faith” Is:

3-We believe in the value and dignity of all people: created in God's image to live in love and holiness but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt, and justly subject to God's wrath.

Man was made innocent of sin and in the image of God according to Genesis 1:26

Man sinned and messed up his relationship with God (Romans 3:23) and therefore deserved God’s wrath (Romans 6:23)

We all deserve God's wrath, death and judgement!

Prayer: Father I thank you for sending Jesus to rescue me from my death sentence!
