Full Life
Christians assert that God chose to live among us as a human to communicate His love, and to restore us to full life. Why would that be necessary? We don’t have to look at the world long to see how broken it and we are. We are unique among the animals in seeing our failings and being aware of them. We live in the “gap” between our actual state and our deep awareness that we are drawn to be fulfilled and perfect. God entered into the “gap” as one of us, and bridged the gap between us and Him. This place of being less than we know we are created to be is the place where we most rely on God. God does not condemn us because we are in this gap. He meets us there, and guides us in a daily process toward closing the gap—a process that does not end with our physical deaths.
