Diving Deeper

1. Read Genesis 1:26-27.  What does our creation teach us about ourselves?  What does it mean to be made in the image of God?

2. Read Psalm 51:5.  What does it mean that we have a "sinful nature?"  Given this reality, how can we be saved?

3. Read Colossians 1:13-14.  What has Jesus done to transform our identity?  How does this change the way that we live?
