 If you look the Revelation of John, you will recall that God promises to come in and sup with us. Presently i was constantly instructed that God did not have social fellowship with us because He is Divine and we are human. But here the word is essentially fellowship. Just like we support fellowship with one another. Presently, this is where these things get challenging. We would think that enjoying fellowship with God as an equal would be bringing God down to our level. Here is where the whole idea of resistant theology has an effect on the understandable confusion of our comprehensive understanding of our unique position before God in our genuine faith. It's more substantial for us to adhere to a proper view of God than it is for us to meet the requirements of His holiness in ourselves. After all, we are required to exercise our faith in order for us to experience God. I mean if we possessed the faith of a mustard seed we could move mountains. Is it because our abiding faith comes to a point where we are in with God and we naturally get what we desire? I undoubtedly mean possible can we adequately describe abiding faith as maintaining a moral necessity to be at an appropriate level where we grow sufficiently to be willingly accepted by God as being able to meet the requirements of enjoying social fellowship with Him? Does our faith give us a possibility to move those impossible things? If that would be the moral standard then why should we naturally depend on God to powerfully move the impossible? I would rather think dependence is expressed as what is impossible with us is possible with God. So that the possible is only possible when we are totally dependent on Him. This is the established paradigm of the genuine expression of moral liberty of the necessary will. So that we can say the exercise of our freedom is finding that we cannot accomplish anything in our own strength. So that there is things that are impossible for us to accomplish in an expression of our liberty to choose. It is not we find a percentage of ability in order to have the power to move the impossible.

 If we are convinced there is nothing that we can do to please God, then we are going to find our hope fulfilled in understanding who God is. In other words, the bigger God is the more we are going being dependent on, and the more the expression of faith is going to be exercised. So that we undoubtedly find in our mutual understanding of God that all necessary things are possible but with us then everything is impossible. Both of these proper expressions are genuine faith being properly exercised. But if we naturally possess a little power and God carefully gathers our necessary power then God is consistently going to accurately represent to us a God who invariably meets us at our expressed will. That is we will never be accepted enough to grasp the concept of exercising faith in Him making all things possible. We would never understand the full paradigm of genuinely enjoying social fellowship with this God.

 If we are forgiven then for us to enjoy an expression of the genuine faith of  forgiveness we would be more confident in His forgiveness rather than our ability to be accepted to be forgiven. Put differently, it would be an extremely small faith to not meet the praiseworthiness of His work of forgiveness on our behalf. Consequently, that freedom is sufficiently expressed in finding it is impossible for us to rightfully earn forgiveness, but possible for God to generously forgive out of His praiseworthiness to be the alone forgiver. So that our mutual confidence is expressed in social fellowship with Him by His praiseworthiness of that forgiveness. For we do not express freedom in the amount of power we have to obtain forgiveness in Him. What is impossible for us is always possible with Him.
