From Genesis 1:26-31. We, like the ancient pagans, find satisfying purpose in this life, even though we believe that we can define life by our own terms. God has created us in his image, and yet we don't exemplify that image in the world. Jesus has come to rightly bear the image of God, and in so doing he has restored the image of God in us. We respond by bringing all things within our rule under the authority of God's Word.
