..God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.
Today's message is the second in
my series of discussions on relationships with a focus on Our Relationship with
God, our heavenly Father Creator, and sustainer.
All humanity is created in the
image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26a); it was God's desire
for humanity to
be in fellowship with Him, and God would make known the mysteries of the
unknown to humankind (Ephesians 3:9). God's desired intimate relationship was
witnessed in the Garden of Eden; sin destroyed that relationship, but Jesus
Christ restored our relationship through His atoning works on the cross at Calvary. All who accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior have
a restored relationship with God (John 3:16), which incorporates God's
desire.
All humanity has a spirit, mind,
and a heart with the ability to love and to hate. Being in the image of God, we
are to love one and care for one another and show compassion just as God has
for all generations.
We are children of God;
therefore, we are to manifest the goodness of God.
