Life Prepares Us

“So God created man in his own image.’(Gen 1:27)
God breathed into Adam and made him a living soul.
It is plain that we cannot claim our image resembles Him in a physical sense since no man has seen Him. Soul serves as a mirror but it doesn’t fully explain. Soul is a catalyst for the body with all its infirmities to grow unto perfection even as it is. As St. Peter writes we are called ‘to be partakers of the divine nature.’(2Pe1:4). Our carnal body shall stumble and let us down more times than we care to count them but soul’s hold on us is relentless and it never tires itself from its office.
Perfection can only come through our experience, or knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ. Since we do not have a physical model as such the Word helps us to some extent. Our life on the Earth must largely prepare us while living among so many. Life on this vale of tears is but a preparatory school.
