The Image of God in Humanity as the Foundation for Spirituality
HUMANITY CAN CO-RULE WITH GOD ONLY IF IT KEEPS UP WITH GOD’S GOODNESS.

The best remedy to restore humanity from the distorted views about their
identity today is to reaffirm their unique identity as the creator’s image that explains their intelligence,
creativity and moral consciousness well.
In Christ, you are forgiven, loved, and have your identity established
as a child of God.
Though the message of forgiveness seemed to be widely received, the disciples constantly encountered criticism and rejection. Besides, they were expelled from the Temple first, followed by arrests, and later mass execution commenced.
As thousands turn to Jesus Christ, worldwide, true discipleship is the need of the hour. We need to unpack biblical metaphors to help each Christian understand vital spiritual principles.
Evidence of growth involves losing and dying of the self in pursuit of becoming like Christ.
The ability to understand who we were, and are, what we have been
provided with, and what lies wait for us who are called into this glorious
inheritance only can happen when the eyes of the understanding are
enlightened.
We often do not have answers to an untimely demise, heartbreaks and betrayals, divorces, and life-threatening diseases that come upon
us out of nowhere. A Christian’s attitude to worldly pains has a Biblical tint as we see life and its troubles through the spiritual glasses, and our view is in stark contrast to that of others.
The Christians today who suffer unjustly for the sake of their faith must recognize it as an integral part of their calling as the children of God. So they can rejoice in it.
