The Bible teaches that “God created humans in his image” (Genesis 1:27). Commenting on this, Voltaire (1694-1778) said, “If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor.” Our ability and propensity to create, our capacity to love and accept love, our ability to forgive and to transcend self-centeredness — sin-marred though they be — all point to some affinity to divinity in us.
