Partakers

Everyone who is born bears the image of God - we have wills, we desire, we are creative, we think, we work, we enjoy.  But because we are born separated from God by sin, we cannot share in His perfect and holy nature until we are born again.  Then, Jesus dwells in us...we become partakers of His nature at the moment we turn from our sin and turn to Christ and believe He paid the price for our sin on the cross, and that He rose again, conquering sin and death.  This is when life for us truly begins...
