Made for More
God made humanity to manifest his likeness by analogously imitating his ethical perfections in a specific way as his image bearers. This purpose imbeds in us the final cause of God’s glory, which means that God himself is likewise our final end. Thus, our nature as those made to imitate God in a special way according to our manner of creaturely-fitting participation entails that our nature has its ultimate end beyond itself in supernatural communion with God, which is simply glorification in the eschatological order.
