- From the beginning mankind was ordained to have dominion, to rule, to be in charge of the physical creation here on Earth. [Ps 8]
- Mankind was given the capacity and responsibility to help direct and judge his fellow man under God. [Ex 18]
- Christian life is to reconcile man to God. [2 Peter 3 and Luke 4]
- Christian is to become a member of God’s Family and God’s Kingdom [for eternity].
- Christian is to become full fledged Sons of God and help rule the entire universe under the direction of Jesus Christ.
- Christian is to become more like Jesus in character, focus, goals, and essence. [overcoming himself, the world, and assaults of Satan through faith — via reading the bible, prayer, help of Holy Spirit, learn to live by every word of God, and grow in spiritual maturity.] Although we will have unique personalities, we are added to God’s Family in spiritual rebirth because Jesus paid our sin penalty. Christians will never be equal to Jesus or God [in character or power] but the Christian is to progress closer to the character of Jesus.
