IT IS GOD'S JOB TO MAKE US LIKE HIM!

MAN WAS CREATED TO BE LIKE HIS CREATOR! 

Genesis 1:26-28 - And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.  So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

DO NOT EAT FROM ONE TREE!

Genesis 2:15-17 - And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

GOD IS MISQUOTED!

Genesis 3:1-3 - Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:  but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die (the woman misquoted God).

MANKIND CEASED TO BE LIKE GOD!

Genesis 3:6-7 - And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof (she touched it and did not die; and she was emboldened ), and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

TODAY, MAN IS LIKE MAN; NOT LIKE GOD!

Genesis 5:1-3 - This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him;  Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.  And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

BUT OUR FAITH CHANGES THAT!

Proverbs 17:6-8, 15 -  I have called upon Thee, for Thou wilt hear me, O God: incline Thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.  Show Thy marvellous lovingkindness, O Thou Who savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in Thee from those that rise up against them.  Keep me as the apple of Thy eye, hide me under the shadow of Thy wings . . . . As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness:  I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.

1 John 3:1- 3 - Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons (children) of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.  Beloved, now are we the sons (children) of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him;  for we shall see Him as He is.  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS TO KNOW GOD'S WORD AND FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER!  IF YOU DO THAT, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!
