Whenever I
think about the grace of God, I am simply overwhelmed by God’s amazing love for
mankind. That’s what grace is all about. The goodness of God that cannot be earned
is now freely extended to man by faith.
You see, in
order to understand the foundation of God’s grace, you must understand the
state of separation and hopelessness mankind was thrown into after the fall of
Adam.
Man was
created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 126), and there is
a reason for that. First of all it was to create an equality of fellowship
between God and man. God is a Spirit (John 424), and He created Adam
essentially a spirit being.
It is
impossible for a man to have fellowship with a cow, regardless of any emotional
attachment there might be between the man and his cow. Equality of life is
required if there must be any level of understandable communication and
functional relationship between two living beings.
