5. God and Creation Together

5.1 A Symmorphic God. God is personal, invisible, and symmorphic. That means that God is a Being who reveals Himself through other persons, thus a believer can know God only personally inside him or herself and only through the permission of their faith.

5.2 Falling Short. Sin is falling short of one’s created place. For a believer, that means not abiding in Christ and Christ in them through faith. It means unthankfulness, self-hatred, and contempt for others.

5.3 Creation Restored. God accepts nothing less than all creation restored back to Himself. This the purpose for which He sent Jesus into us, to share form with us, to make us just like Himself, thus making God visible and known to a creation that does not know God.
