In the book of Genesis, we are told that we are made in the image and likeness of God. In the letter to the Philippians, we are instructed to imitate the humility of Jesus. In the letter to the Ephesians, we are instructed to be holy and to mature toward the fullness of holiness for which we were created, as modeled by Jesus. In the Gospel of John, we are reminded, simply, that God is Love.
