What is the position and the responsibility of the Church? What is God's vision for us? What does He expect from us? What is our assignment? Why does He permit Satan whose head is already crushed, to remain on earth and do his horrible work? God created man (Adam) in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26). In doing so, God had a dual purpose. The first was to have the life and glory of Christ and being given dominion over all things (Genesis 1:28), to bring all things back to God. The second purpose was to be united with God, and being so, to be used by God to deal with Satan's rebellion. Sadly, however, Adam fell.
