Genesis
2:7 explains man’s origin. “ And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul” Jehovah Elohim (3068, 430)
the self existent, eternal God in plurality who is breathed the breath of life
into the lifeless lump of clay that He had created. This breath of life caused Adam to become a
living being i.e. Adam was given the gift of mortal life... Although this scripture explains that Adam
became a living breathing being, the implication is far greater that the
lifeless creation was made capable of communication with the God who created
him.
The
gift of life did not grant Adam mortal life eternally nor did it grant him
eternal life outside of the grace of God.
Although as we have said before, God desired and desires fellowship with
his human creation, He did not have man to exist, however man needed God from
the time he was created i.e. man could not and still cannot exist without God’s
grace. Man needed God before and after
the fall. Although he was not separated
from God before he fell he still needed God.
When
the Christian musician understands man’s need for the grace and help of God,
that musician’s musicing takes on great significance. Musicing unto God is a means of grace to
mankind. Although music is not the main
communicator of grace, it is never-the-less a definite means of grace. So, a musician’s musicing is not merely an exhibition
of the musician’s musical talent, but rather one of the open channels whereby Christians
may take the journey from the natural to the supernatural and commune with God.
