THE CROWN OF GOD'S CREATION

Since man is the crown of God’s creation, the enemy seeks to defy God by de-crowning man. And he does this by attacking the image of God in man, leading to the carnage of man departing from God. However, although we have been de-crowned by sin, Christ took on the crown of the cross to bring us new life in Him. "What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor" (Psalm 8:4-5).
