 The possession of material wealth and societal power that we currently have exceeds that of Adam, the first human, because the Second Adam obtained all possessions through lawful means, and we are united with Him in this respect. Despite this, we do not have an inherent right to any earthly possessions since everything belongs to Christ. However, our connection with Him grants us access to everything, although we do not consider it our personal property. Ultimately, it is only through His will that we are able to obtain anything.As members of the Christian community, we possess greater spiritual blessings than Adam did. Our fellowship with the triune God in Christ enables us to carry out His will through the power of the resurrection. Our authority is derived from Christ's representation of us. While we have the ability to make requests of God, we must do so with unwavering faith and in accordance with His divine plan. Our prayers are most effective when they align with His will. We are privileged to have access to all of the spiritual riches, but it is important to acknowledge that if we were to receive all of the power that He could bestow upon us, it would be overwhelming. As saints belonging to the Christian community, we have been granted more profound spiritual benefits than Adam, thanks to our association with the triune God in Christ. This association empowers us to execute His desires aided by the might of the resurrection. It is crucial for us to acknowledge that every aspect of our existence can be safeguarded by His possession of that which we lack. Through Him, we are able to approach His boundless throne of grace.It is possible to make requests to God that are in accordance with his will, no matter how insignificant they may seem, and he will listen. Our ability to connect with God fosters a strong sense of self-assurance that allows us to have dominion over all things through Him. By concentrating on optimizing our capabilities with God as our champion, we can be confident that no force will overpower us.If we had knowledge of the fact that all of our troubles would come to an end through the influence of His throne, we would have the opportunity to experience His presence as our current advocate. Furthermore, if it was His will for us to govern a nation or make a groundbreaking discovery, it would surely come to fruition.If God intends to derive glory from our suffering, then His sovereignty over us will also be reflected in our future dominion in heaven. As believers in Christ, we have the privilege of witnessing His providential hand at work in all things. This grants us the status of both kings and priests in service to the Supreme Creator.
