This book is essentially an exposition of Ephesians 5:1, which says, “Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children” (NLT). Imitating God is to reproduce His attributes in us. It is to follow His character. But can finite humans imitate infinite God? We must understand that God has two kinds of attributes: incommunicable and communicable. The incommunicable attributes are those that belong to God alone (such as omnipotence, omnipresence, immortality, etc.), while the communicable attributes of God are those that we can also possess (such as faithfulness, forgiveness, love, etc.). Ephesians 5:1 is asking us to imitate God’s communicable attributes as His dear children. In this book, we cover fourteen attributes of God. Each chapter discusses an attribute of God and addresses three issues: (1) How God demonstrates the attribute, (2) How man is supposed to imitate God by demonstrating the attribute, (3) What happens when man does not demonstrate the attribute. As Christians, we are God’s representatives here on earth and we should strive to live lives imitating His character.
