God's Plan

God's plan for humanity makes so much sense! Examples throughout the bible support his plan. He gave human beings a share of his divine life, human beings are religious beings, and he created human beings to live in loving communion with one another. When he created the first humans, they shared in God's divine life but then the fall occurred when they committed the first sin. They invited sin into our life which will forever be tempting humans. With sin God gave humans a chance with his several covenants to give people a second chance. This preparation was for Christ himself. With Jesus walking on the earth and sharing in our human life is out of this world. He came in order to save every human and give them a chance to be free from sin. With his death and resurrection he freed us all from sin. The church is a great place for us to experience these beliefs. We are able to receive God's grace through the sacraments and the church is a great place for us to experience the reality of sin among members. My favorite line from the reading says 'thus the church on earth is an imperfect taste of the perfect communion that awaits us in the kingdom of God.' With all o the sin in the church we are able to see that sin is a real thing and everything isn't perfect in the world, but as we are accepted into the kingdom of god we will enjoy the perfectness of God's love.
