The most beautiful part of this aspect is how we are redeemed. God has had a redemptive plan from the beginning. He knew He would need to reach down to us. Mouser puts into words our wonderful salvation,
"We deserve to be hauled in to the capital and hanged for treason. But Christ was hanged for us. This is what His death on the cross means; He paid the price of a traitor's death....Adam and Eve broke the trust. But trust is re-established when we receive God's offer of new life and re-assert our allegiance to Him." Our mind is to be renewed and enlightened and our conscience is purged from dead works. This is great news!!!
In conclusion, we were created in the image of God, the Fall has brought sin nature to the image we bear, Jesus has died to pay the penalty we deserved to die. God has given us our domain for a purpose and is fashioning our lives that we might bring our whole being to Him.
Next aspect....Helper-Completer (and it is so good!!)
