Many Christians nowadays believe that since God is the creator, and is unique, omnipotent... humans, as creatures, have no relationship with Him, and that the creatures are vulgar while the Creator is absolute and holy. \But though there is a chasm between the omnipotent and the vulgar there must be a resemblance of mental content between them to achieve a relation centering around the concept of love. It means that the content of each heart must be identical. That is to say, human nature must be identical to that of God's nobility. Therefore, in whose likeness is man? God's! Hence believers say, "God is our Father, we are His children." But what does it mean? It means that we humans take after His likeness. Through what do we take after Him? Through the blood lineage! It means that we are interconnected through love. The essential privilege of a human being is the birthright to be a prince or princess in the Heavenly Kingdom. That is the human value. That was the essential human dignity. Now then, what will be man's wish? Man's ideal, man's hope... Where will be their final destination? What will be their ultimate goal? What is the first? It can be concluded that the ultimate purpose of a human being is to be a perfected son or daughter of God. What is the next? It is for one to be loved by God. What will be the third wish? It is to inherit all of God's existence. There won't be any other wish besides these. Do you understand? The problem is how to be God's true child. One has to have a life connection between oneself and God. That is to say, one should have God's blood lineage. If the human ancestors not have fallen, we naturally would have been true sons and daughters of God.
