Genesis 1:26
New International Version (NIV)
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
He has given us a recipe for life; a way to live in harmony with each other and to have fellowship with Him. But, we don't want to follow His plan so we try and do it our way, which just makes a mess of things and separates us from Him (sin which leads to death). He sends His only begotten Son, Jesus, to earth to be the perfect sacrifice so we can have forgiveness for our sins and Jesus was so willing to do that for us. He wants to help us live a godly life through the power of the Holy Spirit so that we might enter His new righteous kingdom. And He pleads with us to have life through His Son:
Ezekiel 33:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’
What more can He do for us? He is such a powerful loving God!
