In ourselves we are not able to follow the divine pattern or reach God's standard. Praise the Lord that God is working in us! The very God who became incarnate in the Lord Jesus is now in us. This God is the infinite God, the eternal God, the One who created the universe by His word. Through incarnation, this eternal God came to live in the Lord Jesus. He made Jesus a pattern and uplifted Him according to the divine stan dard. Now this same God is operating in us. When I first realized this, I was overjoyed. Be cause God is operating in me, I am now a Godman. All genuine believers in Christ need to see that, as Christians, we are God-men. No longer need we live according to our fallen humanity, for God is now operating in us. Hallelujah, be cause God dwells in us and is operating in us, we are God-men! This inward operation of God is the second aspect of the divine and rich provi sion for constant salvation.
