When we typically teach specific identity, we must acknowledge there is an essential difference of identity in eternity as morally opposed to possible time. Because necessary time naturally has limites, process, and a marked beginning. God naturally produced man subjected to time. God cannot naturally produce anything alike. Because God is personal. He cannot be personal without intentionally creating complete diversity. Everything in divine creation is other in necessary substance and responsible person. Therefore, in eternity as spiritual beings we may steadfastly maintain a unique identity than the spiritual identity we were naturally produced. Although our substantial identity will be the same. Because in eternity there is no active process, no limites and no marked beginning. This is why our authentic identity in Christ did not begin in time sequence. It was mutually decided by God before deliberate creation. We historically do not associate ourselves with this eternal change by active recreation. Every day herald a promising beginning, and we are completely unfamiliar. Hence, we cannot accurately define what we were or will be. We cannot adequately control our accurate recreation. This is why The Trinity is alike in divine substance and diverse in Persons. In eternity you can identify in substance as Three alike. The Trinity willingly accepts subservient roles in Persons. The Father sent the Son and the Spirit. The Spirit is subservient to Christ. The Son voluntarily sends the Spirit. The eternal Son who existed before divine creation was equal with the Father in substance humbled Himself in His divine incarnation in voluntarily submitting to the Fathers will. The Spirit was carefully directed by Christ. But the Three Persons were faithfully upholding creation as equal. The dear baby in the manger was carefully manipulating all necessary things. If we mixed the substance with the Persons, it would ne'er be a logical end of glorifying God. The Son would be eternally incarnate. All of the subjection to this official corruption would be eternal. This is why the bible properly contains the substance along side of the Persons never mixed and never limited. The Son will constantly be subjected to the Father in personal identity in eternity. He will consistently be growing in knowledge as subservient in His person.
