When you think about "image," what comes to mind? Grasping the importance of being made in God's image is one of our spiritual essentials but most people don't have a good understanding of what it means.In this episode, Sean & Khalil explore the biblical narrative surrounding God's Image and explore how a deeper understanding of what scripture says here shapes and changes how we live, what we live for, and how we share God with those around us.In summary, We were created for the purpose of imaging God. Sin is the failure to be righteous and to image the Creator as we were made to; it is falling short of the image of God by failing to represent His character and communicable attributes in creation. But Jesus frees us from sin and invites us back to God's original plan for his creation.resourcesDon't forget to subscribe to the Welcome to the Table Podcast on your favorite platforms, join our Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes and content and please leave a review to help others discover these life-changing discussions.Follow & SupportFollow on InstagramJoin our Patreon CommunityFollow & SupportFollow us on InstagramSupport us on Patreon
