No evil and no flaw had a place in man. Although finite, he was perfect; although finite, he had the fullness of likeness to God, a fullness necessary for the fulfillment of his destiny.
And what was his destiny? To become a temple of the infinite, eternal, and supremely perfect God. The mind of man must be the mind of God, his word must be the word of God, his spirit must be united with the Spirit of God, and the qualities of his character must be godlike.
The inhabitation of God within man constitutes, in other words, the union of God with man. Thus, the creature-man becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Whoever reaches this state is called - and truly becomes - a god by grace!
In such a state, we are all called by the Creator in the formation of our forefathers. (excerpt from the Word about Man)
