We are told in the Scriptures that God desires that we know Him more than He desires sacrifices (Hosea 6:6). The way to know God is through the study of His word, the Bible, and a personal relationship with Him through our acceptance of the salvation offered through His Son, Jesus. The primary goal of Created in the Image of God is for us to know God through studying the Trinity, the three-part structure of God, as presented in the Bible and comparing and contrasting the Trinity with the three-part structure of mankind, who is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26).
Created in the Image of God attempts to bring forth relevant Scriptures as pertaining to the Trinity and the creation of mankind, as well as applicable thoughts of theological scholars as they pertain to this topic. Through the study of the trichotomic structure of mankind, we will see how mankind is able to relate to God, the meaning of regeneration at salvation, the distinction between the indwelling and the filling of the Holy Spirit, the root cause of addictive behaviors, the reason that mankind is above and different from the rest of the animal kingdom, and the purpose and cause of prevenient grace. Above all, the hope of Created in the Image of God is that it leads readers to know God more fully, so that we can love him more wholly.
