Why do we reject the very Image of God?

Of all of God's creations there is one that we as a culture depress. We reject it, we seek to destroy it, we belittle it, and we degrade it. We seek to hide it, we mock and shame those who display it publicly. It is demonized, rejected, and mocked, it is treated as an object of lust rather than beauty worthy of our deepest admiration. We reject its divinity, hide its glory, and work tirelessly to shame its image and those who dare to show this Godly creation in any public way.

This grandest of all creation is common, normal, and natural. Satan has so successfully infiltrated religion, church, and humanity to destroy the very nature of its nature as if it never existed to begin with. Satan degrades its beauty to raw lust.

This creation is living, breathing, loving, and divine to its very nature and existence. It is so sacred and beautiful that Satan has spent much effort to destroy and warp the divinity of this Godly creation. Gen 1: 26-27. It is to be admired, respected, loved, and it reflects the divinity of God. Our bodies represent the Divine image of God manifested in human form and represents our humanity gloriously displayed. It was not created to be covered or shielded from view. It is the only creation of God we seek to cover and hide.

We must not be ashamed or fear our bodies or the bodies of others. If we reject our own bodies by hiding them we reject the very image and essence of God and the Divinity we contain of God in us. We must reject Satan telling us that we are dirty, evil, abhorrent, and repugnant. We have allowed Satan to distort, destroy, and undermind our bodies as Gods greatest creation.

We need to embrace the beauty of our creation and show the true nature of being, true nature of who we are and who God is by accepting the very image of God within our hearts, minds, culture, and beliefs. We need to be tolerant, unashamed, liberal, earth friendly, etc. God does not want His light, His sunsets, His tabernacles, or anything else of His to be hidden from view. Many will argue about the place of clothing in the world and culture. While it may be a matter of practicality it should not be a matter of hiding who and what we are in God. The grandest of his creations and we should celebrate this as His children.
