The Man in the Mirror

"When we hear the divine benediction on the creation of humanity, 'It is very good,' we are meant to see that here God saw himself in the mirror. The law was natural not only for God, but for his image-bearer. The difference was that while God cannot transgress his own moral character, since he is necessarily holy and righteous, creatures are only contingently so." Michael Horton, God of Promise (2006) p. 84.

God looks in the mirror and sees righteousness and holiness. The sinner looks in the mirror and sees Adam. God looks at the believer and sees Christ!
