THE GREATNESS AND MAJESTY OF GOD
Because man is created in the image of God, he is like Him in certain
respects. But in our minds, either intentionally or unintentionally, we often
reduce God to the status of a man. We say that God is an anthropomorphic
[being] which in a sense is true, but I would like to begin today by
approaching the subject of man and his relation to Deity from a different
angle, by saying that man is theomorphic; that is, there are certain aspects
of man that are like God, but these are somewhat limited as yet. Though we
have the great ideal of attaining unto the fulness of the measure of the stature
of Christ, still that which man possesses today—in comparison with God—is
very limited.
