Something to Know

By Rev. C. C. Henry Sr.

This book is to help those who are struggling with who they are and are confused about whose image they were born in. Whether they were born in the image of God, holy and righteous, or the image of Adam's sinful nature. For, because of Adam's sin, every man loses the image of God, for all have sinned, and there is none righteous, not one. And you can only retrieve the image of God through the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the sins of all men.

As for tithe and offering, this is to help you. If you love the Church or your fellowmen, then when you give, you give out of the abundance of your heart and give cheerfully.

You do not have to bind yourself with guilt to the old ceremonial law of giving 10 percent of tithing, but that you give to the glory of God because the Lord has blessed you. He provides for you and protects you all the days of your life and your increase is because of His goodness toward you. Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, shaken together, running over, shall men give unto your bosom. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thy own understanding. May God be praised.

Man Losing the Image of God

From the book of Genesis chapter 1, in the beginning, God created the heaven and earth (the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof; the world and, they, that dwell therein [Psalm 24:1]). The earth and everything in it are God’s creations, so no man can be credited for it.

In the beginning, the beginning of the creation, not the beginning of God existent, for God was before the creation and is self-existing, no explanation needed.

Now that we have established and accepted that God is the creator of all things in heaven and earth, for the heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handy work (Psalm 19:1), all things were created by the power of God’s word (let there be, and there it was).

The Plan for Man

When it comes to the creation of man, it becomes personal; let us make man, and man has become his personal creation, hands-on, which created a relationship and fellowship between God and man.

In Genesis 1:26, And God said, let us make man in our own Image, after our likeness. The plurality of us and our can only be referred to the Father, Son, and Spirit (John1:1,2).

So God created man in his own Image. (Genesis 1:27)

The image of God is the characteristics of God: the spiritual man, the righteous man, and the holy man is the image of God, created he-him (male and female) and created he-them.

The species is man, and the gender is male and female (their task was to multiply and replenish the earth). The male carries the seeds, while the female delivers the seeds. Every man (male and female) are in the population of man from creations.

The Lord God said, Let us make man in our own image and likeness. What is God’s image and likeness?
