Let's Be Like Our God --- Holy

Throughout history, we see that man rises no higher than the aspirations and goals he sets (cf. Genesis 11:1-6). If individuals wish to accomplish great feats, they must set goals which are not only reachable, but those goals which inspire them to greater and nobler efforts (cf. Joshua 14:6-14).

It is also true that men are like their gods. The heathen gods were figments of the imaginations of the men who engendered them, and were therefore possessors of the evil passions of those men (cf. Ezekiel 8:1-18). No wonder then, that the worshipers of these gods were so morally degenerate, because they believed their gods were pleased by fornication and gross immorality (cf. Ezekiel 16:1-59).

Conversely, as Christians, we have the assurance that the only true and living God is our Father and that we are His children.
