Cruciform: Living the Cross-Shaped Life Coming April 1
This blog is a regular attempt to remind us all of what it means to live God’s story for His glory. Today I am thrilled to offer you a tidbit from Jimmy Davis’s new book, Cruciform: Living the Cross-Shaped Life. I can’t wait for you to read the entire book — if you want a sample, read Chapter One on www.cruciformpress.com. Meanwhile, read this and rejoice in how God created us:
“When God made mankind he created a people with a purpose, sons who would serve. They were not only meant to take delight in one another, but also to take dominion over all that God had made (Genesis 1:28). As his ―kingdom of priests, the mission of God‘s son-servants was to ―work and keep creation, to cultivate and care for the place in which he put them so that it would be the dwelling place of God and his people, for the glory of God and the good of others forever (Genesis 2:15; Numbers 3:7-8; Exodus 19:6; Revelation 1:6, 5:10). God is a relationship that rules, a being who is doing. So those made in his image and likeness are to relate and rule, to be someone special to him and to one another as together they do something special for the glory of God and the good of all he has made.” Jimmy Davis, Cruciform.
