As image-bearers, we should view others as God views us. One way the Lord identifies us — and Id argue this is the most important differentiation – is as either in Christ or not in Christ. C.S. Lewis said it best when he wrote in The Weight of Glory: There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors . . . There is no one walking the earth who is not in need of the gospel [the good news of Jesus Christ]. We are a part of humanity, each one of us heading toward either heaven or hell. It takes the power of the gospel to transform an image-bearers heart of stone and bring it into worship and delight of God. - Trilla J. Newbell, Tabletalk, Nov. 2014
