It is Good to be Different from God

Michael Horton, in The Christian Faith, p. 42:

In it no crime to be different from God.  Finitude is not “falling away” from some primordial infinitude.  There is no part of human nature that is higher, brighter, more infinite, or more real than another.  This means that the only legitimate ontological distinction is between the uncreated God and the created world, not between spiritual and material realms.  Ontological difference—the strangeness that makes us stand in awe of God’s majesty—is good.
