"Imago Dei" means that we were made in the image of God. Since God creates us in his image, we can see His nature reflected in us. This image is a flawed one, however. Because of the distortion of sin, we are but a poor reflection of God’s wonderful creation. By evangelizing, we are spreading the hope of redemption and new creation to those foggy mirrors. God is restoring our lives and slowly cleaning up the muck to reveal the image of perfection at the core of who we were made to be. This should drive us to go out into our communities and even further into the dark corners of the world in order to shine the light of God’s Truth, which is Jesus Christ, and to share the hope that comes with knowing that we were not only made in the image of God, but we also have a grand purpose; the glorification of Jesus Christ, and through Him, the glorification of the Father.
