WARRING AGAINST IDOLS Sample Clauses

WARRING AGAINST IDOLS. People are now chasing after, rather than ruling over, created things. We are slaves rather than rulers of creation. Another way of embarking on “self-salvation” projects is to pursue after idols for satisfaction and validation. Idolatry is a major theme for “what ails” us. In the beginning, we were created in the imago dei (image of God) to worship and serve God (Genesis 1:26-27). We were given the Cultural Mandate to rule over all created things in Godʼs name (Genesis 1:28-31, Psalm 8:5-8). Instead we rebelled against our divine origins (Genesis 3) and “fell into sin.” Xxxx describes this “fall” of humanity in terms of idolatry. We refused to give God glory (i.e. to make him ultimate), and instead began to worship and serve the created instead of the Creator. “They exchanged the glory of the immortal God ... and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator” (Romans 1:21-25). The result is the created things began to rule over human beings (Genesis 3:17-19). We were created to worship. We will either worship the uncreated God or we will worship some created thing (idols). Either way, we will “worship and serve” something (Romans 1:25), and whatever we worship, we will serve, for worship and service are always, inextricably bound together.
