  3. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • God as Creator • God as Mirror

  4. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • Rational/Moral Capacity? “The fact that a being is a human being … is not relevant to the wrongness of killing it; it is rather characteristics like rationality, autonomy, and self-consciousness that make a difference.” - Bio-ethicist Peter Singer

  5. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • Rational/Moral Capacity? • Relational Capacity? • Ruling Capacity? Our Identity is in Our Dignity (as bearers of God’s glory)! No God -> No Glory to Bear -> No Human Dignity No Dignity -> No Identity

  6. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • Disgraced by Man’s Sin • Definition of Sin (Genesis 3:5 & Romans 3:23) “Professing to be wise, they became fools & exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds …” - Romans 1:22-23

  7. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • Disgraced by Man’s Sin • Definition of Sin (Genesis 3:5 & Romans 3:23) • Consequences of Sin (Genesis 3 & Romans 6:23) Our Identity is in Our Dignity (as bearers of God’s glory)! BUT Human Depravity Defaced Human Dignity

  8. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • Disgraced by Man’s Sin • Restored by Christ’s Cross “We all … beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord.” - 2 Corinthians 3:18

  9. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • Disgraced by Man’s Sin • Restored by Christ’s Cross Our Identity is in Our Dignity (as bearers of God’s glory)! BUT Human Depravity Defaced Human Dignity YET Calvary Restores Human Dignity

  10. The Search for Identity • Created in God’s Image • Disgraced by Man’s Sin • Restored by Christ’s Cross • Creation & Cross Declare ALL Humans Have Dignity! • Word and Deed of Gospel Restore Human Dignity!
