Getting Started…

What is mankind capable of? List them as a group.

Read Gen 1:26-31

What does it mean for humans to be created in the Image of God? (brainstorm and discuss this one for a while!)

How do humans carry out God’s mandate in the ‘Image of God’?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking further

How does Psalm 8 (especially vs3-8) act as an explanation to what it means to be created in God’s Image? 

Look at Gen 3:5-5, 16-19 briefly. How is the ‘image’ distorted? 

So are we still ‘In God’s Image?’Genesis (5:1-3) 9:6 & James 3:9 

Who then is the true human? Read Hebrews 1:1-3, 2:5-10. (If time, read 2 Cor 4:4, Col 1:15-17 as well)

Responding to the Truth…

Split and read Col 3:9-10; 2 Cor 3:18; Rom 8:29; 1 Cor 15:49. How are humans restored to be in the image of God? 

How does God’s plans for humanity (in his image) impact you as a human in his world?
