In my theology class we are going through a book entitled: Bible Doctrine, by Wayne Grudem. As we delve into the creation of man, my teacher had us consider these questions based on the creation of man:
~How does is make you feel to think that you, as a human being, are more like God than any other creature in the universe? How does that knowledge make you want to act? Do you think that God has made us so that we become happier or less happy when we grow to become more like Him?
I was thinking and pondering the fact that God created us to bring him glory as I was reading the Bible Doctrine book. Our purpose in life: to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Christ lived a perfect life, and we are made in His likeness and image, how should that direct our actions. If we are made to glorify Him and represent Him then shouldn't we strive to live a perfect life? - one that we are incapable of. God calls us to be perfect just as our heavenly father is perfect.
