---JESUS SON OF GOD/ THE GOD-MAN ~~

--Jesus never ceased being God and at the same time has always been Man. We serve a triune G-D.

------GOD'S VIEW OF MANKIND~~

--(Please read/ Hebrews 2:16-18)--

--Consider three elements of God's perspective of humanity:
--**CREATED IN GOD'S IMAGE. Of all the creatures that the Lord fashioned, only the man and woman were made in His image (Genesis 1 verses 26-27). They had a mind, will, and emotions as well as a spirit, which enabled them to worship and relate to G-D, the Father. Being sinless and perfect, they were designed to live forever in intimate relationship with their Creator.

**CORRUPTED BY SIN. However, an act of disobedience broke their relationship with the Lord (Isaiah 59:2). The divine image was marred by sin, which infiltrated human nature and corrupted every person born thereafter. Mankind stood (spiritually) dead, without hope, and condemned before a holy God.

**WORTHY OF REDEMPTION. Yet the Lord considered them worthy of restoration. Through the redemptive work of His Son, all who believe in Jesus are made spiritually alive again, and the broken relationship between God and man is repaired (Col. 1: verses 13-14). One day- in Heaven- sin will be no more, and a perfect environment will be reinstated.

-Between life's pace and trials, losing sight of divine viewpoint is all too easy. When we're overwhelmed by criticism, trouble, or suffering, it's vital to recognize our worth in the Lord's eyes. That realization can energize our service and renew our love for the One who gave Himself to bring us back to God.
[**No, God has never left us, but many of us have left Him. God is Spirit and omnipresent, in all places at the same time.]
