In this sermon, Pastor Keith challenges the chaotic spirit of this age, the expressive individualism in which the self, with all authority and autonomy, determines his or her own identity, even to the point of changing gender. From Genesis 1:26-28, known as the key text for Imago Dei and the cultural mandate, Pastor Keith calls the church to remember and recover biblical anthropology. By highlighting God’s deliberation (v.26), God’s creation (v.27), and God’s benediction (v.28), He reminds us that God created humanity in His image, male and female, for us to bear His glory, and that the ultimate and perfect image of God was displayed in Christ Jesus who came as a man to save the fallen image-bearers to regain God’s blessing.
