What is our relationship to God? We are told, somewhat glibly, that we are the children of God, of his image and of his nature. Divinity lies within every one of us. Then, says modern man, looking into his own soul for eternal answers, we must be more than figures molded from clay; we must be of God's very substance. Our history must go back into times not understandable to the human mind, into that region of pre-existence. Our bodies may be of the dust, but the essence of us is of God. That conception explains man's divine nature. That changes the whole outlook upon life. As very sons and daughters of God, we feel new nearness to God, a new responsibility for our actions. Our works must be of godlike character, else we are untrue to our divine origin . . . We shall live after death. What then? In that other world we shall possess in a greater degree all the powers we have enjoyed on earth. They will be used actively in an endless, progressive existence. If used properly on earth and in the eternities of the hereafter, we shall by small steps, grace for grace, approach more and more the likeness of God, our very Father. To rise towards such heights, from the dim beginning, has ever been our destiny. Every righteous act has promoted that progress; every unrighteous act has retarded it. The knowledge of our divine destiny, and the conditions of it, would tend to regulate our course on earth. We are to be leaders against all evil, the final conquerors of earth.
