Apologetic Bullet Point #17

When God put the immaterial attributes of His character into His creation, He put them in at the highest level that was present in Himself.

Explanation:

Based upon God’s expectations of us that we ultimately live according to His character, if I need to live according to His character then it logically follows that the possibility of achieving His highest character attributes is what He installed in us.

God could not have put in higher values of His character into creation because higher values didn't and don't exist.

Even though God created mankind to be lesser than God in our abilities, He has an expectation that we will live according to the highest character attributes that He placed in us.

The expectation for mankind to live according to God’s standard is evident in God’s laws for man’s behavior, especially the Ten Commandments.

Placing lower character attributes in us and then expecting us to live according to God’s standard is illogical.
