I agree that all men have "godly" potential where their motives and actions line up with God's. But only one man, Jesus, always lined up with God's motives and actions. That, in itself, proved that He really was God. Any other man can try but never reach that same pinnacle of love in action. And, believe me, many men have tried over the centuries. It is not possible for a human to be perfect, as Jesus was, and that is what separates us from God. However, God can work through us, even if we are imperfect. For perfection to come through us, we need to ask God to use us and keep our hearts open to love. In those moments we feel His love for us so strongly we no longer believe that we are the source. We know there is something outside of us, stronger and more powerful and loving than any one man can be capable of. I really like your column.
