Bible Question:
hi, in the beginning God made one MAN[Adam].I hope that Adam had a lighter skin almost like the one of Jesus. How did it happen that we now have so many colours? Is there any particular race which resembles God than others? The answer to this question will help me to help others.thanx |
Bible Answer: Dear Assurance, I extend to you my Welcome! Although you are correct about man resembling God, your idea that the resemblance is man’s body is not on target. It is the inner man, not the outer man, that is the image of God. God does not have a body; He is spirit. And it is man’s spirit that bears God’s likeness, not his body. We all resemble God more and more as we grow in holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit on the basis of the finished work of Christ on the cross. We won’t fully resemble God as we ought until our Savior God Christ Jesus returns. I John 3:2, “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.” (This is not talking about Jesus’ body, but his character.) Peace, |
