MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE

This is what is meant by God’s image, in the words of Elmer Towns:

a. Intellect. The ability to think, abstractly, i.e., put words to ideas, think in cause-effect relationships, remember, etc. Man has the ability to know the difference between right and wrong.

b. Emotions. The ability to feel passion and patience, and so much more.

c. Will. The ability to make judgments, decisions, i.e., choices based on intellect and emotions.

d. Self perception. The ability to know one’s self and discern one’s self beyond physical sight, i.e., self consciousness and self awareness.

e. Self direction. The ability to plan, dream or vision.
