About This Video
Shawn McCraney explains that being a Christian involves recognizing that even the smallest actions are significant when done for God, aligning with the teachings of humility as truth rather than pride. He highlights the concept of humans being made in God's image, reflected in the composition of body, soul, and spirit, analogous to God’s threefold essence of Himself, His Word, and His Spirit.

Main Discussion
We’ll we are going to wrap up on What it means to be a Christian tonight with a final heuristic – one that I think explains Christianity perhaps better than anything else other than reading the Bible. We’ll begin by going to the white board and talking about the houses God has inhabited over the course of human history.
The Image of God
What does this mean when the Bible says God created Man in his own image?
Understanding Human Composition
I would suggest that the best description is that just as God is composed of three essences – Himself, a consuming fire, His Word, and His Pneuma (or breath or spirit) Man was composed of three in one too – Body Soul and Spirit.
