I am like God?

When God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
Genesis 5:1

God created me in His likeness.

I am like God.......?

Yes, the word of God affirms that I am like God.

God does not say this with regards to other animals, creatures, or even angels. But only with regards to a human-being, God says this.

In what sense?

I am not all-powerful like God.
I am not all-knowing like God.
I am not all-present like God.

But I can be loving like God.
And I can be kind like God.
And I can be patient like God.
And I can rejoice with the truth like God.
And I can protect, trust, hope and persevere like God.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8

God is love.
And the purpose of my being is to love like God.


When God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. That man may love like God. Or at least, man may learn to love like God for all eternity. For ever and ever.
