Some of the Characteristics That Every Child Of God Should Have

Some of the Characteristics That Every Child Of God Should Have

They hear Gods voice, they are blameless and harmless, they are bold as a lion, they have a contrite spirit, they are faithful, they fear the Lord, they are godly, they have no guile, they are humble, they hunger and thirst after righteousness, they are merciful, they are generous, they are obedient, and they are watchful.

They are led by the Spirit of God (He abides within).  They are unafraid of the world and stand in opposition to the world and its beliefs and deceptions.  They seek to return to the Garden and the freedom that God instilled.  They are not afraid, inhibited, ashamed, because of the world. They seek to be as God created them in the Garden, in the fullness of Gods cloaking spirit and glory.  They stand in contrast to Satan’s deceptive corrupt world and man who follows him.

Why did God Create People

Why did God Create People

Genesis tells us why.  To have man reflecting His image and having dominion over the earth under His sovereignty. (Gen 1:26,28).  The home becomes an outpost of Gods rule.  We are to reflect His image, rule over creation, and to reproduce godly offspring.

Only man is created in Gods image.  With His personality, intelligence, and ability to know and relate to God, man is able to reflect God-likeness in a limited way in righteousness and holiness of truth, how we relate to each other individually and corporately.  Human life is valuable and every person must be treated with respect.

God gave the right of dominion over all living things to man.  This involves a stewardship of the earth and its resources.  When Satan got man to obey him, then Satan became the ruler of the world.  To regain control of all things we must exercise dominion for Christ over Satan and his forces.

Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it. (Gen 1:28) Subdue the earth under God. Children are blessings from God.  God made us to rule over His creation as responsible stewards of the earth, and to rule over the ruler of this fallen world by exercising the authority of Christ, our Head, through prayer.
