What it means to be created in the image of God.

We as human beings are all God’s children and He has created us in his image! Having the knowledge that we are like Him can give us encouragement that we can become like He is and be as He. Having a goal in mind of what and who we want to become helps set us on a course of becoming. The goal to be like our Heavenly Parents is something we should happily strive for. They have eternal joy and have given us a life and a chance to obtain it.

Having the knowledge of our spiritual heritage or knowing we are God children gives us power over the adversary. He doesn’t want us to have this knowledge because it helps us connect and grow closer to our Heavenly Father and inspire us to be more then what we are now.

We have a divine nature being sons and daughters of God. What that means is that we through obedience to his commandments and repentance for our short comings we can obtain all that God has, or in better word we can become like God. With this nature we have a tendency to want to be and do good some call this the light of Christ.

The family proclamation to the world says:“ALL HUMAN BEINGS—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.”

We lived with God before this earth and we will live again after we leave here. We will be the same. Our genders will always be the same God will always see you as his daughter and will always see you as his son. Nothing will change this in His eyes. He will always love us but there is no mistakes in our gender. God has perfectly created us.

If you have questions about this or anything else related to God I would love to talk with you.  I also invite you to pray about anything you have question on and encourage you to try and build a relationship with your Heavenly Father.
