Proof of Identity

Carl J. Welz

We are all children of God—but how do we know this?

The Bible says that God is our Father, that He is our Life; that God is Spirit, and that man is made in His image and likeness. Can we prove our identity as the likeness of Spirit, or must we accept what appears to be our identity as material beings?
