on Human Redemption

In a perfect world we are created to reflect God’s image, which is a symbolic way of saying we are created to worship Him. Isaiah 43:7 says we were made for the glory of God, formed and made for Him. Verse 21 of that same chapter says we were formed for Himself to declare His praise. You need to understand this: airplanes are made to fly, toasters are made to toast bread, ovens are made to cook, cars are made to drive, and people are made to worship. We’re designed to worship. We've been failing at this since the Garden, and what Christ has accomplished at the Cross restores us to do this.
