To Recap

Let me recap some of the points I have covered previously with regards to the nature and office of our soul.
God is Truth the Absolute and when we read Adam was created in the image of God we need to focus on Truth in a way we can grasp: truth of nature, truth of experience and truth of actions.
His breath in us signifies the soul by which we know by instinct that there is a higher calling for the truth than that we handle.
( For example we see Truth as the basis for our moral fiber and yet speaking truth is more often than not inconvenient in our everyday transactions. Calling a spade as spade may not get you into trouble but if you dare speak of the House being packed with crooks and adulterers ( It is in all probability the truth) you are likely to be called to the floor of the House to be reprimanded for lowering the dignity of the House.)
In short we cannot hit that right note which establishes the Absolute value.
Thus when we speak of being part of God’s family we mean we have been adopted into heavenly places even as ‘imperfect as we are’ because of our obedience to Truth. Placing ourselves under its rod and being blameless in our personal lives are entirely two different things.
The Father Figure
While we are on the earth we shall realize Truth in the reality of love. God is love and it denotes God the Father.
