Genesis 1:27 says, "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

Man: the image of God?
Evolutionists suggest that evolution is a meaningless, undirected process and that humans are a mere accident with no purpose or meaning in the universe. If humans evolved, then there is no eternal life and no God. This obviously flies in the face of Christian beliefs; we were created in the image of God. This view of creation gives our life meaning and purpose. Without God, there is no foundation for morality and each person can do what seems right at the time with no real consequences regarding eternity-eternity does not exist. Man shares characteristics with both animals and God. We also see God's attributes in human creativity, reasoning and the ability to express love and purpose the holiness that existed before sin entered the world. The impulse to survive seen in every living thing cannot be described in biological terms; a divine Creator must have instilled this desire in each organism. Evolutionists suggest that the hope of an afterlife is a coping mechanism that has developed as a response to the bleakness of our existence, but God says it is a promise to all. Some will be in the presence of God and others will be cast into Hell.

Trinity (God the Father)
Trinity simple means "triunity." God is not a simple unity; there is plurality in his unity. The Trinity is one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith. Unlike an antimony or paradox, which is a logical contradiction, the Trinity goes beyond reason but not against reason. It is known only by divine revelation, so the Trinity is not the subject of natural theology but of revelation.
The word Trinity is not used in the Bible, the concept is clearly taught in the Bible. The logic of the Trinity is simple. Two biblical truths are evident in the Scripture, the logical conclusion of which is the Trinity:
1)There is one God.
2) There are three distinct persons who are God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Father is God. Throughout Scripture God is said to a Father. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, "Our Father in heaven" (Matthew 6:9). God is not only "our heavenly Father" (Matthew 6:32) but the "Father of our spirits" (Hebrews 12:9). As God, He is the object of worship. Jesus told the woman of Samaria, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." (John 4:23). God is not only called "our Father" (Romans 1:7) many times but also "The Father" (John 5:46 and John 6:27). He is also called "God the Father" (2 Corinthians 1:3). Paul proclaimed that "there is but one God, one Father" (1 Corinthians 8:6). Additionally, God is referred to as the "Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 15:6). Indeed, the Father and the Son are often related by these very names in the same verse (Matthew 11:27 and 1 John 2:22).

Plans for the new decade (the year of 2020)
I wake up and there is an new decade and an fresh start. I do not follow New Year's Resolution but it is an popular idea. I believe that people mean well but they efforts seems like an poor attempt.
We will all fail but the key is to keep on going forward. Here are some words that will help you to get 20/20 vision in the year 2020.
I desire to bless people, so I am writing this blog. I hope that you can conquer life because of the strong words. There are times when I leave God out and I am doing on my strength. We need to add God to whatever we are doing. When I am doing an activity, I try to ask God to help me.
I like the verse in Hebrews 13:16 and it says, "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." What is done in Christ will last. If you want to become an better listeners, and listen to someone. If you are doing it for Jesus, Jesus will be pleased with your action.
We are not islands but we need to be part of an community. The loner even needs to be part of an smaller group. The believer in Jesus needs to be involved with an church so they can go. That believer can also influence other believer in that church. Hebrews 13:17 says, "Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be an joy, not a burden, for that would be no benefit to you."
I will begin to break down verse seventeen. We need to have confidence in the leadership of the church that we are going. I will warn you, not all churches are good. The good church will honor the Bible and Jesus. They will teach the Bible correctly. The false church will be an cult that be the only one in town and everyone else is wrong among true, Bible believing churches. If you are involved in that type of church, leave that church. I will feel bad for that false teacher before God.
When you are involved in an church, be nice. Adults are just big children and that is how many people act in church. It seems that people will do the bad actions and cause divisions an dumb ideas.
Make you are Spirit lead and not self lead.
I enjoy verse eighteen. It says, "Pray for us. We are sure that we have an clear conscience and desired to honorably in every way." If you are reading the blog, please pray for me. I desire to have an pure life that honors Jesus. Prayer is the key for victory in the believers life.
I will finish up with verse nineteen. The verse says, "I particular urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon." You can pray for me that I will do the Lord's will in my life. I am praying that you will do what the Lord wants for you in the year of 2020. May you have 20/20 vision in Jesus, this year.
