Summary
Bearing the image of God looks like something. If you’ve accepted Jesus as Lord, you haven’t just been mended, you’ve been made new—recreated to reveal God’s nature to the world. But how do we know we’re truly fulfilling our call to represent Him?
In this thought-provoking message, Bill Johnson invites us to examine our lives through the lens of our responsibility as image-bearers. Being made in His image is so much more than an identity statement. It’s a call to reflect His righteousness and goodness in how we live, love, relate, and lead. What happens when our choices fall outside His lordship? What becomes possible when we fully surrender our opinions, preferences, and actions to Him? This message will stir you to release what holds you back and embrace what’s needed to represent the Father’s heart well. Watch and be encouraged to live as a true image-bearer, revealing His nature to the world around you.
