CHECK YOUR REFORMATION LENSES
Do you ever pause to consider if your opinions and decisions are in harmony with a biblical worldview or are your thoughts in need of some level of reforming?

After viewing the video, answer these few questions to evaluate your reformation lens:
- In Genesis 1:26, scripture records God declaring “Let us make man in our image and after our likeness and let them have dominion...” One popular explanation of the ‘let us’ views the Triune Godhead deciding in unity to create man in God’s image. Have you ever heard this interpretation? Another explanation is based upon the idea that angels, or sons of God, had been with God and assisting God throughout all the prior creation days (Job. 38:1-7). Have you ever heard this interpretation? Certainly, the Triune God would have been in agreement and unity about the creation of man. But, the Godhead had not been brought into the decision process on any prior days or any prior creation acts, so why did the consultation occur on day 6? Sons of God had been participating with God in the earlier creation acts. Based upon these two facts, do you think the council meeting could have been among the angels and God rather than among the Triune God? Give your answer some consideration. Discuss your answer with another believer.
- Man was created to bear God’s image. To say that humans bear the image of God is to affirm that every person carries intrinsic dignity, worth, and purpose. This idea reshapes how we view ourselves and others. It means our value isn’t based on achievements, status, or appearance—but on something divine and unchanging. That’s incredibly affirming. If all people bear God’s image, then every person—regardless of race, gender, age, or background—is equally worthy of respect and love. Ponder on these thoughts. Can you identify any specific areas where you need to adjust your opinions or your actions to affirm image-bearing dignity to yourself or to others?
- Bearing God’s image isn’t just a privilege—it’s a calling and a weighty responsibility. We’re called to reflect God’s goodness, justice, mercy, and truth in our actions. That means living with integrity, compassion, and humility. We are also entrusted with stewardship of the creation and with treating our fellowman with love. Of these three, which responsibility do you consider to be the weightiest on you? Do you deliberately adjust your lifestyle and your goals to live out any or all of these responsibilities?
