In this paper, I am going to talk about an essential belief of Christianity which is people are made in the image of God. In the text book, the meaning of the image of God is death with three approaches of examining the meaning of the image of God. These approaches are “Christology from above” approach, “Christology from below” approach, and “Christology from behind” approach. These are defined by theologians “to examine who he is and what he does (his work).” Moreover, I will think how the integration between the belief and my calling can have an impact on the way how I treat people in my chosen vocation.

In other words, the point is that …show more content…

It is because I am aware of the reality of education system in my country. I highly think that the dilapidated education system in Korea should be reformed and revamped. I think it is our responsibility to allow the youth to grow an insight for how the Creator, God handles the world and human. I believe young people have the power to change and impact the world. My point is that I place a lot of hope only on church. That is, when the education systems stem from church, our next generation will make a real impact on the world. The impact which I want them to make is the attitude of their living equipped with the mindset of Christ. Let young people thirst for spreading the good news to the
