Commentaries:
Putting this together with Job 14:14-15, the work (the molding and shaping of the Potter) will not be finished until the resurrection of the dead. In the meantime, as we yield He continues to re-form and re-shape us, from what we have been in this world into the image of His Son.
The illustrations of this are throughout the entire Bible. All that is required of any honest, truth-seeking individual is to put these scriptures together and honestly conclude that God is reproducing Himself!
God's creation continues! And its purpose is to bring us into the image of His Son and Himself.
John W. Ritenbaugh
We Shall Be God! (Part 1)
Man's creation in the Garden of Eden was complete only in the physical sense. Adam was created a perfect physical specimen—but not a perfect spiritual creation. He was created of the dust—not of divine spirit. He was created corruptible—not incorruptible. He was created subject to death—not immortal. But God did not intend man should remain that way!
