People are made in the image of God. What does this mean? In order to understand why we were created we need to understand who God is. Once we understand who God is we need to identify how we fit into this picture of creation and who we are. Finally we need to know how we relate to others, the purpose of various institutions including marriage, government, the justice system, education and work. When we integrate Who God is, Who am I, and who are we, we can understand our purpose in life and how to achieve it.
