God reveals what He is because of what we should be. When He spoke to Israel and made certain moral demands for their character he repeatedly added “for I am the Lord “. What He is relates to what we should be, but what He is and what we are should be related. We talk in terms of contrast – we are human, and cannot emulate the Divine. We excuse ourselves from being anything beyond human and imperfect. But God has set up a new order. He thinks of us in terms of likeness and similarity. He made man in His own image in the beginning and despite disaster has not given up on His intentions. He wants us like Him and will never rest until we are. So the revelation of God is meant for human transformation and not just student education. God bless you.
