Adam could neither see who God is nor could he see who he himself truly was either—since who we are is entirely defined in relation to God who created us. Jesus has come to restore both our lost vision and true identity. By beholding Him with eyes of faith, we bear His image afresh--and that begins "birthing" new life in us. This awesome power of beholding is what the Father is using to save and transform the world!
