We’re all made in God’s image-**Genesis 1:26`
and in truth we can’t “live, and move, and have our being” without Him**Acts 17:28
, but the Fall of man could be said to be the point where the Master went away, or went “dormant” in us, or in any case where man ceased to hear and heed Him necessarily. We lost the “knowledge of God”, to know Him.******Genesis 3:23
And this is exactly the knowledge Jesus came to restore, when man was ready for that light, even if just barely. To know Him is to be reborn, awakened form our sleep, arisen from our death. It was never really He who was dormant but ourselves.****Galatians 4:4-7, Ephesians 1:10, John 3:12**
