The Image Of God In Man: Four Sermons (1841)

By William Harness

Book Overview

The Image of God in Man: Four Sermons, written by William Harness and published in 1841, is a collection of four sermons that explore the concept of humanity being created in the image of God. Harness, an English clergyman and writer, examines the theological implications of this belief and the ways in which it shapes our understanding of human nature and purpose.In the first sermon, Harness discusses the idea of God as a creator and the significance of being made in His image. He argues that this image is reflected in our moral and intellectual capacities, and that it gives us a unique responsibility to care for the world around us.The second sermon focuses on the relationship between humanity and God, and the ways in which we can experience His presence in our lives. Harness emphasizes the importance of prayer and meditation as a means of connecting with God and deepening our understanding of His will.The third sermon explores the theme of redemption and the role that Christ plays in restoring humanity to its original state of grace. Harness emphasizes the need for repentance and forgiveness, and the transformative power of faith in our lives.Finally, in the fourth sermon, Harness reflects on the ultimate destiny of humanity and the hope that we have in Christ. He argues that our ultimate goal is to be reunited with God in heaven, and that this hope should shape the way we live our lives on earth.Overall, The Image of God in Man is a thought-provoking exploration of the theological concept of human nature and purpose. Harness's insights and reflections offer a valuable perspective on the ways in which our beliefs shape our understanding of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
