Ultimately, we were made to become like God. God made us in his image in the garden, but through sin and willful disobedience, we tarnished that image and drifted away from him. Our lives on earth are a journey back to Him. That beings with faith in Jesus Christ as God, and it continues as we strive to again reflect his image. That process is called discipleship.
