In order to preserve the reality of his perfections, God decrees that no human-contrived image of his shall be made, as any such image would only serve to cloud or diminish our understanding of what he is truly like. Because he is infinite and invisible, any finite and visible rendering of him in wood, paint, or plaster can only dim our understanding of his true nature. God’s version of image management is that there are to be no images of him conceived by human minds and created by human hands, in order to preserve the reality of his perfections.

God has chosen to reveal himself through the Scriptures and through Christ. We know the truth about who God is by becoming acquainted with this revelation, by learning the Bible, and by
measuring all teachings against his word. And we know the truth about who God is through Christ, the spiritually undiminished image bearer.”

PSALM 30:4-5a
Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime.

Until that time of faith becoming sight, we strive to look like Christ. If there is to be whittling, let it be the whittling away of our sins of commission. If there is to be carving, let it be the carving out of our sins of omission. The Ten Words show us how to live on earth as in heaven, conforming to the image of Christ as representatives of Yahweh. They are engraving tools. The more we obey the, the more we reflect his character, visibly, to a world that very much needs us to.”
