Made into His likeness

Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness"... (Gen.1:26)

That's how we were created.

But I have noticed that we also have that desire within us. We want to create the people around us in our image. We expect them to think like us, believe like us, live like us, dress like us...
We are critical of other lifestyles, how people use their money, how they live, because we think the only right way of living is the one we live.

What is the answer?
How can we come to an agreement to live a  certain way without expecting everyone to be like us?

When God took the Israelites out of Egypt, He was faced with a group of people who had grown up with Egyptian gods, and some oral history about where they came from. To make them into a unified and holy people, He gave them directions for living that would please Him.

We too have come out of the Egypt of slavery to sin, into the wilderness, on our way to the Promised Land. God saved us through faith in the sacrifice of His Son. He wants to make us into a Holy and separated people, who live according to His will.

We can find God's will in the Bible. As a gift He has given us the Holy Spirit to help us.

And we will be made into His likeness.
