Believers are free & awakening to being & serving as Image-Bearers. How can we think about Image-bearing? Elements of New Creation from/in Jesus:

1) God Reconciled the World [Cosmos = people & place] to Himself: 2 Cor 5:14-19
2) The People (of the World) —Those People’s Sins are Forgiven: Heb 8:12, Col 1:12-14, 2 Cor 5:19
3) Rulers/Powers are Stripped & Forced Slavery is Broken: Jn 12:30-32, Col 2:8-15, (“Voluntary Slavery” is still an option [Romans 6:15-16] because: *your authority has been returned to you in Jesus for good or ill, & * “spiritual rulers” are rebellious opportunists.)
4) Repentance (to come into alignment with God’s Covenant Reconciliation) has been Granted, Proclaimed, and Empowered: Heb 8:12, Act 5:30-31, Act 11:18 & 2 Cor 5:18-21
5) In Christ, Men and Women are New Creations: 2 Cor 5:16-17
6) The Beginning of New Heavens & New Earth: 1 Co 15:21-28, Act 3:19-22
