THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY

Mankind (humanity) was made in the image of God (cf. Genesis 1:26, 27); but, because of sin, this became a broken and distorted image (Romans 3:23). Then Jesus came into the world. Jesus was “the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), the “exact representation of His nature” (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus came to show us the Father (John 1:18; 14:7-9). The essence of Christianity is returning to the likeness of God (2 Peter 1:3, 4).
