Part 1 – Shadows of the Kingdom, Chapter 3 – The Image-bearers

[Bible references: 1 Corinthians 3]

Just as there are tensions within the attributes of the living God that actively interact with each other, so also God’s image-bearers have to deal with similar tensions. But in addition to those good and healthy tensions, we also impose another tension due to our rebellion against God. Our rebellion has created tensions not only within us, but between us and also between us and God.

Reflect

Do you have any relationships that do not have some unhealthy tension?

Observe

Read Genesis 3:11-19. What kind of tensions did our rebellion create between humans and between the humans and God?
