THE WAYS OF MAN
God is alive and well and He is Lord of all. He does not have favourites for all have fallen and fall short. Man was born in sin and has to be redeemed. Redemption is the only way to restore relationship with Him. Man created in God’s image has the potential to be like God. However this potential was marred when sin entered and distorted his image. He is now prone to lack and limited in his ability. A redeemed man has the potential to be like God. This is why the Bible refers to man as gods. Tapping into the invisible enables one to transcend the forces of nature and push through limits. Man has from the beginning of time pushed the limits and achieved much. This proves the potential within a person. However with this knowledge comes the desire to be independent of God. In this the fallen nature of man deviates into areas that get him into trouble. The fruit man ate gave him knowledge of good and evil. Evil now has also insinuated itself into man and infiltrated his psyche. Herein lies the trouble to cause all kinds of disorders unknown to man. By his own foolishness man has brought about his own down fall. God allows this so that he will turn from his wicked ways and return to God. The wisdom of man sometimes leads to his demise. What is common becomes uncommon and vice versa. Yet God in His love and compassion reaches out to man and many hear His voice and turn from their wicked ways.
