Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness.
The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without exception, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits. But scripture here helps us out with an excellent argument when it teaches us that we must not think of man's real value, but only of his creation in the image of God to which we owe all possible honor and love.
We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.
Without Christ, sciences in every department are vain....The man who knows not God is vain, though he should be conversant with every branch of learning.
