PRAWDZIWY OBRAZ BOGA JAKO WARUNEK SINE QUA NON PRAGNIENIA NOWEGO ŻYCIA W CHRYSTUSIE
THE TRUE IMAGE OF GOD AS A SINE QUA NON CONDITION FOR DESIRING NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

Summary/Abstract: If we understand the concept of “new life in Christ” as based on the revelationof God made in Jesus Christ, an intimacy with this God, implying its conse-quences, such as morality and worship adapted to this relationship, resultingfrom and leading to this intimacy, then it follows that this is a “new life” thatcannot be realized if this basic condition, which is the possession of the trueimage of God, is missing.This issue, presented at the 54th Ecclesiological Week “Church of Saints” atthe Catholic University of Lublin is exemplified by two subjects: the first par-ents, Adam and Eve, in whom the original sin blurred the true image of God,and the Immaculate Mary, free from original sin and, therefore, also from itsconsequence, which is an aversion to God and an intimate relationship withHim, dictated by a false image of Him.The main topic of the article has been enriched with the renewed conceptof the intercession of the saints, who participate in the mission of the AdvocateSpirit, resulting from the exegesis of the Letter to the Romans (Romans 8:26).
