Week of 1.15.2022 | Weekly Focus
God created His kingdom in all its splendor. To complete His creation, He formed man in His image. Nothing else in creation bore the image of God. He was set apart for a unique role in the kingdom. God saw that it was not good for man to be alone, so He formed woman out of the man. Together they made the first marriage, man and woman, uniquely designed to reflect God’s glory. He set Adam and Eve as rulers of His kingdom to represent Him, do his will, and show the world His perfect character.
Graeme Goldsworthy defines God’s kingdom as, “God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule and blessing.” We see God’s kingdom in perfect form, in the garden of Eden. God was with Adam and Eve, as a best friend to His creation! They were under God’s loving rule, enjoying His blessing in His Kingdom, just as He designed it.
Memory Verse
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
