Being One with God

A characteristic of God which we often overlook is the Lord’s desire to be one with us. He created us in His likeness and sought Adam in the Garden. The Lord called Abraham from his father’s house and rescued Israel from slavery. He sent His only begotten Son to share our nature, so to give us eternal life. The Son has given us the gift of His Body and Blood so we could be one with Him. Why would God do such a thing? We often are unworthy, many times we do not even want union with the Lord. God does it out of His love- He wants nothing to stand between us.
