I confess, when I screw up, I imagine Jesus rolling his eyes. And really, nothing could be further from the truth. His patience and grace far exceed my own, his expectations are endowed with the whole picture, I am loved.
Hebrews 2:11
Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. [NIV 2011]
God went to a lot of trouble to re-establish relationship with Human; that work, sending a Redeemer who was fully God and fully human, created a breach in the way things used to be. Nothing was the same.
The unique outcome was that Human was transformed and holiness was attainable, not by performance or desires or good deeds, but by faith, a conscious desire to believe in the Presence of God within through the Holy Spirit.
Jesus sees new Human (that marriage of spirits). We are one. He said so.
