Trynitarność śladu (obrazu) Boga w substancji bytów stworzonych

Abstract

All religions deal with the question of the existence of God’s divine image in creation. In Christianity, however, God’s image has a Trinitarian dimension, which greatly enriches how one understands this issue. When noumenally considering God’s image in creation, the first question at hand is the structure of the personal inner life of God, from which proceeds the form of God’s creative act as well as the relationship between His divine trace and the existence of created beings. The fundamental prototype is the eternally begotten Son, the Holy Spirit who breathes through the Father and proceeds from the interior of the Father to the interior of the Third Person of the Trinity. The formation of the trace of God in the substance of created beings that have already been called into existence takes place through the mission of the Son and the Holy Spirit. The consequence of this action is the Trinitarian form of the energy of created beings, meaning the makeup of their inner substance. Along with this process, the relationship between God and created beings (both individually and collectively) and between created beings themselves is formed.
