Grace And Gratitude Go Together Like Heaven

Impossibility Is More Possible Than Everything Which We Hold To Be Possible.

All Sin Has Its Being And Origin In The Fact That Man Wants To Be His Own Judge. And In Wanting To Be That, And Thinking And Acting Accordingly, He And His Whole World Is In Conflict With God. It Is An Unreconciled World, And Therefore A Suffering World, A World Given Up To Destruction.

Thus In This Oneness Jesus Christ Is The Mediator, The Reconciler, Between God And Man. Thus He Comes Forward To Man On Behalf Of God Calling For And Awakening Faith, Love And Hope, And To God On Behalf Of Man, Representing Man, Making Satisfaction And Interceding. Thus He Attests And Guarantees To God's Free Grace And At The Same Time Attests And Guarantees To God Man's Free Gratitude.

I Had To Show That The Bible Dealt With An Encounter Between God And Man. I Thought Only Of The Apartness Of God. What I Had To Learn After That Was The Togetherness Of Man And God - A Union Of Two Totally Different Kinds Of Beings.

The Term 'laity' Is One Of The Worst In The Vocabulary Of Religion And Ought To Be Banished From The Christian Conversation.
