It should be evident that there can be no sensible concept of worship, religion or personal relationship with God until it is appreciated that God is personal, that we are in His image physically, albeit a very imperfect image, and need to develop His mental image so that we may take on the fulness of His physical image in the Kingdom of God. So much more sense and comfort can now be gained from the passages which speak of God as a loving Father, chastening us as a Father does his son (e.g. Deut.8:5).
Ingawa ni mfano usio kamili sana unahitajika kuukuza kufuata mfano wa akili yake, Hivyo basi, tutaweza kupata utimilifu wa mfano wake unaoonekana katika ufalme wa Mungu. Maana nyingi zaidi na faraja tunaweza kupata kutoka mafunzo ya maneno ambayo yanamtaja Mungu kuwa ni Baba aliye na upendo, akiturudi kama Baba afanyavyo kwa mwanae (mfano. Kum. 8:5).
