In the Image of God
Genesis 1:27
“Man only knows who he is in the light of God.”
—CHRISTOLOGY
If God has made us in His own image and if He has made us to live in fellowship with Him and to the praise of His glory, then we cannot truly know ourselves or life’s purpose without living in the light of God’s Word and presence. To live in the light of God’s ways is thus not a deflection from being truly human. Instead, it is fully realizing our “humanness” with its spiritual dimension. God’s presence is not meant to dominate us, but to guide us. God’s presence is not meant to blind us, but to enlighten us, so that we can see truly and so live more faithfully.
Prayer
Lord, grant that in my search for meaning and purpose I may constantly seek Your wisdom. Amen.
