contain a hand, so also man is made in the
image of God to contain God. By receiving
God as his content, man can express God
(2 Cor. 4:7).
Here is what Romans 8:29 says
Romans 8:29 New International Version (NIV)
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Please note that there is no indication in this verse that God wants to express Himself through man.
2 Corinthians 4:7 New International Version (NIV)
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. Note that there is nothing in this verse about God wanting to express himself through man.
It's a good sentiment, but not supported by these verses. Maybe E, Drake, or Steel can help direct us to more pertinent versus?
