What does the Bible tell us about God? It is certainly not true that the human mind cannot accept and understand as realities matters which are not noticeable for the senses. Think in this context of the notion of time. Time is something limitless and unnoticeable. Still every human being accepts time as something that exists and influences our lives. |

What does it mean that man was made in God's image, according to His likeness? The Bible teaches us that God has made man in His own image and according to His own likeness. The Bible not only makes this statement, but also tells us what this statement means. It means that God has made man with moral freedom: the freedom to do good or to do evil. |
Man has the freedom to love God and His creation and to desire to obey His laws. But also the feedom to reject God and His creation or aspects of God and His creation and to desire to transgress God's laws.
