What animal has ever said NO to his creator? If we did not praise God from time to time even the rocks would cry out in obedience. <br /> <br /> And though we were made in the image of God, we no longer resemble that perfect image. Yes, we are spiritual beings the same as our Lord, but we who believe in the atoning blood Jesus Christ are being made into the image of Jesus, the son of God -Romans 8:29. That is what means to be a new creation "in Christ". <br /> <br /> Dare I say however that it is not in appearance that distinguishes us from the animals but rather our unwillingness to obey?
