“It must be well observed that God did not lay aside the relation of a Creator by becoming our Redeemer; but in some respect, the work of redemption is subordinate to that of creation, and the law of the Redeemer is subordinate to the law of the Creator. In the same way, the duties which we owed to God as Creator have not ceased, but the duties we owe to the Redeemer, as such, are subordinate to them. It is the work of Christ to bring us back to God, and to restore us to the perfection of holiness and obedience. And just as he is the way to the Father, so faith in him is the way to our former employment and enjoyment of God. I hope you perceive what I intend in all this: namely, that to see God in his creatures, and to love him, and to converse with him, was the employment of man in his upright estate. This has not ceased to be our duty. In fact, far from it: it is the work of Christ to bring us back to it by faith.”
~ Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor
A Prayer Life 
Redemption is but the beginning of God’s Master plan; how few comprehend His end.
16 “That He would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”
“…that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” A statement so majestic that Paul had to follow it up with verse 20.
20 “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”

Paul’s understanding of the majesty and splendor of God far exceeds any comprehension I might ever come to obtain. Yet, his own comprehension was one grain of sand of the sands of the world.
Thank you for your thoughts. Blessings.
