Psalm 8: 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of
man, that thou visitest him?
Hebrews 2: 6 But
there is one who has testified: What is man that you think of him, or the son
of man, that you look at him?
Man is perfected by
God, just like the angels. Just as the whole creation is actually perfected by
God. Yet, man has a privileged position. Humanity was created in God's image,
which shows that God truly saw human being the crown on His creation. He wanted
to create something special, the cream on the cake, people with his own will to
serve him.
But it was a bit
different! Man made sin own and chose against God. And from then on there is a
tear between God and man. The same happened to angels, for in heaven there were
angels rebelled against God. They were extinguished and now they work with
satan, their leader. And yet there is a real difference between man and the
angels. For man gave God His Son, so that the tear can be restored. That's not
for the angels, they are sentenced to hell.
But we must cash
that privileged position! We must accept God's Son as Savior, because He has
come to earth to die for sin. He came to us, to you and me. He still comes to
us, through His Spirit but with His reconciling blood. That privileged position
asks you to make a choice: Do you want to belong to God or not? God's Spirit
wants to help you make the right choice.
And when we have
been taken to His children again, then you know. I was bound, but now I'm free.
I was addicted to sin, written dead forever, but then Jesus came to you and
gave you freedom. He gave Himself for you. Then we can use that special
position with God in the right way. We may live to His glory, from love to Him
and from gratefulness to the Son. Then you can sing: I have a song that the
angels can not sing: I was a sinner, but I have been saved. What a lovely and
great God! Glory hallelujah!
