“In this universe God is the center. He is the Head, the first, the preeminent One in all things. Man is the center of all God’s creation. Furthermore, there is a special relationship between God and man. Indeed, man was created by God for a certain divine, eternal purpose. Moreover, God created the old creation, and He also created another creation, the new creation (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15). Thus, in the foregoing brief word we have mentioned four things: God as the center of the universe, man as the center of the creatures, the special relationship between God and man, and God creating not only an old creation but also a new creation. These four things taken together form the subject of the chapters in this book, that is, the relationship of God with man in God’s new creation. This subject is great and profound, but we will present it in a brief and simple way.”
