- Christ who is our life (Col 3:3-4)
Gen 1:26-27, Gen 2:7, 2 Cor 4:4, Jn 11:25, Jn 14:6
We are created in the image of God. (Gen 1:26-27)
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The true image of God is Christ. That is, we are made by Christ. (2 Cor 4:4)
2 Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
In other words, Christ became our life and we were made. (Gen 2:7)
Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Christ is our present life and our eternal life. (Jn 11:25, Jn 14:6, Col 3:3-4)
Jn 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Jn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
