Our vicarious God and His vicarious people
The Bible is full of real stories of real people with real-life experiences. These stories are case studies of people who have walked with God and experienced His blessings. These stories were written for our benefit, our correction, and our enjoyment. When we allow the relevance of these stories to transform our everyday life with the truth, we know we are walking with God. God is Spirit and can only experience His natural world vicariously through us, and we are spirits and can only experience His eternal love through Christ Jesus, the First-Born from the dead.
