1) The document discusses developing God's image in young people through a youth camp sermon on Romans 8:22-29. 2) It explains that God created humans in His moral and spiritual image, such as holiness, righteousness, and love, but this image was corrupted by sin. 3) God helps restore His image through the Holy Spirit, calling, and predestination so we can be conformed to the image of Christ. 4) The youth camp aims to develop God's image, which requires salvation and cannot be achieved through human effort alone, but only through the Spirit of God.

2. Romans 8:22-29 King James
Version (KJV)
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth
and travaileth in pain together until now 23 And
not only they, but ourselves also, which have the
first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit,
the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved
by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for
what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we
with patience wait for it.

3. • 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we should
pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself
maketh intercession for us with groaning
which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that
searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind
of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession
for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose.

4. 29 For whom he did
foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be
conformed to the image of
his Son, that he might be
the firstborn among many
brethren.

5. • Theme; Developing God’s Image in the
Young people today

6. Introduction;
• Young people are the
precious investments for
the country, church,
movement for Missions and
religious organizations as
they grown to manhood.

7. What is the meaning of the
“image” of God?
• Genesis 1:26-27
• the first chapter of the bible, God states His
goal: He is making man in His own image!
By using both "image" and "likeness," God
explained that He would create man to be
just like Him! (not physical but Moral and
Moral
spiritual likeness).

10. Why the entire creation was
groaning (Cry out)? VV22- 23
• Genesis Chap 3; 1 Now
the serpent was more wise than
any Beast (animals) of the field
which the LORD God had made.
And he said unto the woman, hath
God said, Ye shall not eat of every
tree of the garden? 2 And the
woman said unto the serpent, We
may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden:3 But of the fruit of the
tree which is in the midst of the
garden, God hath said, Ye shall
not eat of it, neither shall ye touch
it, lest ye die.

11. • 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die:5 For God doth know that
in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil.6 And when the woman saw that
the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make one Wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat, and gave also unto her husband
with her; and he did eat.7 And the eyes of
them both were opened, and they knew
that they were naked; and they
sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons. Because of
Adamic Sin

12. • The entire creation was groaning because
the image of God was corrupt (Damage)
by sin.
• We can’t work it out by our own effort to bring back
the image of God without His helps. (Why?)
• Romans 3:23 (KJV)
• 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
Come short
God
• Genesis 6:5, KJV "And GOD saw that the wickedness
Wickedness great inwas earth, and that every
of man was of man the great
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.“
• Look at the examples below. Taken from the
“four spiritual laws”.
