    TO be like jesus

    Parent Resource Page


    Lesson 1:
    CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE FOR HIS GLORY

    Themes:
    We have been created in the image and likeness of God for His glory
    We are to show the greatness and worth of God in all of our thoughts, desires, and actions
    God is righteous and holy, and it is our duty to be righteous and holy
    Righteousness and holiness is the path to eternal life

    Scripture:
    Genesis 1:26a, 27; Isaiah 43:6b-7; Ephesians 4:24b; Habakkuk 1:13a; Deuteronomy 32:4; 1 Peter 1:15;
    1 Corinthians 10:31; Psalm 16:11

    Memory Verses: 1 Peter 1:15 and 1 Corinthians 10:31


    But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.

    So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

    Take it to heart: How many words do you know that describe how great and wonderful God is? Is there
    anyone else like God? Why not? Read Psalm 86:8-12. What do these verses tell you about God? When
    you read through these verses, what do you think about? What do you feel in your heart? Do you have
    questions about what these verses mean? If you read these verses to an animal would it have the same
    thoughts and feelings as you do? Why not? Why have you been created in the image and likeness of
    God? Do you see this as a great privilege and responsibility? What are the privileges? What are the
    responsibilities?
    Review 1 Peter 1:15 . Why does God require that His people be holy in all they do? Read Habakkuk
    1:13a. Are all of your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions holy? Think of a specific example.
    Read 1 Corinthians 10:31. Why does God require that we do everything for His glory — showing His
    greatness and worth? Can you think of an example where you did something to show off your own
    abilities? Is there a way in which you could have had an attitude that was glorifying God instead? How?
    Why is it hard to live out this verse? What are we tempted to do?
    Read Psalm 16:11. Do you believe that lasting joy is found in God’s presence? What are “eternal
    pleasures”? What kinds of things do you enjoy? Will they last forever? Why not? What is the promise of
    Psalm 16:11? Do you want this promise to be for you? God requires that His people being perfectly holy
    and righteous in order to live in His presence forever. Do you meet this requirement? Do your parents?
    Why not? What is the consequence?
    Pray about it: Have a time of prayer. Think about who God is and what He is like and ask Him to show
    you His greatness and worth. Ask Him to make Psalm 16:11 the true desire of your heart.
