Imago Dei means “Image of God” in Latin. In Genesis 1:26-27 we see the first biblical reference to the Imago Dei - “And God said, Let us make man in our image, and after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.” The New Testament continues the same Image of God or Imago Dei theme in Romans 8:29- “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” In this verse the target of Imago Dei Christian Fellowship is even more defined than in the Genesis account of the Imago Dei. In the Imago Dei of Romans 8 we see that the image of God is seen in the perfect expression of His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The New Testament deepens this theme in Hebrews 1:3- "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person... .” Jesus IS the fullest expression of the Father that exists. He is the Imago Dei at its’ peak. Imago Dei and Jesus are synonymous. The target of Imago Dei then, is to be conformed to the most complete image of God, the Son of God Himself. The center of the target is being like Him in our heart. The Father has predetermined that we are to be the Imago Dei in the earth as His people. We are to be the Imago Dei in thought, word, action, reaction, purpose, and nature. The target of the Imago Dei is extremely narrow. Not to be like Jesus is to not hit the target for us as a church. Everything we do as a church is toward this end- the Imago Dei in the hearts of the believers.
