Who are we?

[arunangelo]

We are beings that are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Since God is love (1 John 4:8), we as His image are created for love. In creating us, therefore, God invites us to a life of love with Him and our fellow human beings (Matthew 22:36-40). Love, therefore, is at the very center of human existence and the life of our soul. Without it we are devoid of joy and peace; and without love our spirit is dead (1 Cor. 13:1-4). Furthermore, because, God is love, we can never have true love for anyone unless we are free of every form of hate and are in communion with God.

Because, we are created for love, love makes us truly human, gives meaning to our lives, fulfills the innermost yearning of our hearts and brings us peace. All our acts of love are God‘s works, which He performs through us. We share in God’s divinity by allowing divine actions, which are acts of love, through us.

first of all we do not share Gods divinity. and second, God is Love, but he is also Holiness, Righteousness, Wrath, Jealousy, Justice, and Light. and as far from being free of every form of Hate, I would have to disagree. because God Hates. If I love God then I must Hate Sin. Since God is Light he must Hate the darkness
