The image of God which is imprinted on the soul has been clouded and does not perfectly bear the Divine likeness. Why? Because of the change disobedience made in people.

Yet, God can impress His own image once again.

Martin Luther is credited for saying, “The purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.”

I was surprised at the use of the word “enjoy”.

Another word is “cleave”.

In the Bible, “cleave” means a strong, inseparable connection.

You shall fear the LORD your God; him will you serve, and to him will you cleave.

These words are very strong. Do we want to be as close as possible to God? And do we find “enjoyment” in God?

God is the best there is and he particularly created man breathing the breath of life into him.

How close is our relationship with God?

What do these words mean to us?

Can we enjoy God?
