Textbook Lesson

Expanding Thoughts on Lesson

  • Called to His Likeness
    • “It is in this way, the Holy Spirit coming to indwell in the Christian, that human persons are empowered to serve as God’s image in His creation. It is through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that human persons come to participate in the working of God in the world, to do the works which He has prepared in advance for us to do (Eph 2:10). These are God’s own works, and so God can look upon them and declare them to be good. In its turn, serving as God’s image by participation, brings about growth into God’s likeness (Phil 2:12-13). It is transformative of human persons, both restoring and healing them from the effects of sin, and ever more conforming them to the likeness of Jesus Christ." (Fr. Stephen De Young, Man as the Image of God in Reverse, Ancient Faith Radio Blogs)
  • Christ: Fully Man and Fully God
    • "Rather, God desires that human persons share in his life by participating in his working in the world, that they become righteous by participating in his righteousness, good by participating in his goodness, holy by participating in his holiness, etc." (Fr. Stephen De Young, Man as the Image of God in Reverse, Ancient Faith Radio Blogs)
