Image of God

The characteristics of God that He also gave to mankind but in a limited way. For example, mankind has the capacity to love God and to be in relationship with Him. We have the capacity for higher thinking, reasoning, worship, kindness, morality, justice, etc. Poeple are able to display and use these attributes of God in the world to bring glory to our creator. It is that God made us in HIS image that gives the human-being inherent value and dignity above the other creatures.
