We are made in the image of God, but because of the original sins of Adam and Eve, we have taken on the image of this world, godless by nature.

Through Christ Jesus we are able to transform ourselves, to take off the image of this world and walk again in the image of God.

We are precious in the sight of God.

Mark 12 verses 13 to 17: The Pharisees { the religious people of that time} were trying to trap Jesus.

v.13 “Then they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to to Him to trap Him by what He said, {v 14} When they came, they said top Him, ‘Teacher, we know You are truthful and defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality, but teach truthfully the way of God. is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? {v 15} Should we pay, or should we not pay?’ But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, ‘Why are you testing Me? Bring me a denarius {coin} to look at.’ {v 16} so they brought one, ‘Whose image and inscription is this?’ He asked them. ‘Caesar’s’ they said”

{v 17}”Then Jesus told them, ‘ Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s’. And they were amazed at Him”.

We have been brought with a price, Christ Jesus coming as a man to die  as a man, to pay the price to transform us from a fallen world.

Jesus used the example of the Roman coin, because it had the figure head of the worlds system of the day on it. What value do you hold to in your life, the image of the world, or the image of God, with Whom we are redeemed to walk with.

Sure we live in the world and we are to pay to the world it dues {taxes}, but we are not of the it, our a legion lies now with the King of Kings, Lord of Lord, Our Lord and Our Friend. Live the life of an ambassador, in a dying world and let the King of Kings reflect through your life.

Our Lord and Our Friend promised to supply our needs, and we at this ministry know which value system we want to serve.

Let the world render unto it self after its own. we who have accepted new life in Christ Jesus, render to this world His Love, His Goodness, and His Mercy.

God Bless.
