Presentation transcript:

Introduction You can tell something about an object by the image that is stamped upon it. Detecting their trickery, Jesus said, “Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s” (Luke 20:20- 26).

Our Exaltation God made man in His own image (Gen. 1:26-27; Psa. 8:3-8), giving us a physical body to inhabit until we are clothed with our heavenly body (1 Cor. 15:47-49; 2 Cor. 5:1-2).

Our Humiliation Before submitting to the gospel of Jesus Christ, our bodies were the tools of Satan and instruments of sin. However, through obedience to the Lord’s will in baptism, we are cleansed from our past sins, and raised to walk in newness of life (Rom. 6:3-6, 11-13).

Our Duty Since our bodies are the temple of the living God, we must glorify God in our daily walk (Rom. 12:1-2; 1 Cor. 6:19-20).

Do We Bear the Mark of Jesus? The Greek word stigma, derived from stizō [to prick], occurring 1x in the NT, refers to “a tattoo, mark, or brand.” In saying, “From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the *brand-marks of Jesus” (Gal. 6:17), Paul probably referred to the many scars he bore of his persecutions (cf. 2 Cor. 4:7-12; 11:23-28).

Do We Bear the Mark Of Jesus? Like the apostle Paul, we must be willing to suffer for the cause of Christ (Matt. 5:10-12; John 15:18-21; 1 Pet. 3:13-17). We must also be conformed to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:28-30; 13:11-14; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:22-24), who is the image of the invisible God (John 14:6-9; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3-4). If we do this in time, we shall be similarly blessed in eternity (1 Cor. 15:49; Phil. 3:20-21; 1 John 3:2).

Do We Bear the Mark of the Beast? The Greek word charagma, derived from charassō [to sharpen, to engrave], refers to “mark that is engraved, imprinted, branded, cut, or stamped.” This particular Greek word appears eight times in the NT. Except for Paul’s reference to graven images in his sermon on Mars Hill, all other occurrences are in the Book of Revelation (Acts 17:29; Rev. 13:16, 17; 14:9, 11; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4).

Certificate of Sacrifice Certificate, signed by two official witnesses, proving that Aurelia Bellias has participated to a sacrifice to the traditional gods, as ordered by an edict of the emperor Decius. This was considered as a proof of loyalty to the government, and the Christians who refused to do this were persecuted. Date: June 21, 250 A.D.

Certificate of Sacrifice To those in charge of the sacrifices of the village Theadelphia, from Aurelia Bellias, daughter of Peteres, and her daughter, Kapinis. We have always been constant in sacrificing to the gods, and now too, in your presence, in accordance with the regulations, I have poured libations and sacrificed and tasted the offerings, and I ask you to certify this for us below. May you continue to prosper. (2nd hand) We, Aurelius Serenus and Aurelius Hermas, saw you sacrificing. (3rd hand) I, Hermas, certify. (1st hand) The 1st year of the Emperor Caesar Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius Pius Felix Augustus, Pauni 27

Do We Bear the Mark of the Beast? The “mark of the beast” was an unspecified, perhaps symbolic, form of documentation, indicating that one had bowed in obeisance to the beast of Revelation. Without such certification, one could not buy or sell in the marketplace (Rev. 13:16-17). However, those who compromised their convictions to avoid the temporal wrath of Rome would incur the eternal wrath of Almighty God (Rev. 14:9-12).

Questions for the Heart We Function In These Realms: Is Our Example Good Or Bad? Scriptural Standard ChurchAttitude & ActionsEphesians 4:1-6 HomeRoles & ResponsibilitiesEphesians 5:22-6:4 SocietyClothing & ConversationEphesians 4:17-24; 5:3-16 WorkPerformance & PrioritiesEphesians 6:5-9

Conclusion God made us in His image (Gen. 1:26-27). In a symbolic sense, bad conduct places marks of sin on the pure body that God has given us. In such a state, how can we be an influence on others to do good? Are you marked by God, or are you marked by sin? Do you bear the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ, or do you bear the mark of the beast?
