278   According to Christian belief, man exists for the sake of God; according to the liberal church, in practice if not in theory, God exists for the sake of man.

John Gresham Machen (American Presbyterian Apologist)

God’s word, though spoken in human language, should never be confused with mere human speech, or even mere human words about God, however accurate. Rather we are talking about divine speech that changes human lives.

Ben Witherington III

Another aspect of the image of God manifests itself in our relational ability.
