When delving into the notion of personal identity, it becomes vital to recognize the deep juxtaposition between one's societal identity in the realms of forever and transience. This juxtaposition arises from the inherent limitations, growth, and unique origins intertwined with fleeting existence. It is through the divine intervention of the Almighty that humanity is guided into the realm of temporary existence. However, it must be acknowledged that the Creator, as a conscious being, lacks the ability to create anything without distinction or similarity. For the very essence of thie celestial Creator individuality compels the purposeful creation of a multitude of entities. Thus, each aspect of divine artistry possesses an unparalleled essence and carries the burden of personal responsibility. Henceforth, as celestial souls existing infinitely, we possess the capacity to retain a unique essence that diverges from our original celestial nature. Nonetheless, our core essence remains unaltered. This is owing to the absence of any dynamic process, boundaries, or distinct origins in eternity. Thus, our authentic identity in Christ was not shaped within the constraints of time. Rather, it was predetermined by the divine hand of God prior to deliberate creation. We do not actively partake in this eternal metamorphosis through conscious reformation. Each dawn brings forth a fresh and promising beginning, leaving us unfamiliar with our past or future selves. Consequently, we are unable to accurately define who we once were or who we shall become. Our ability to govern precise reconstruction is limited. This is the reason why the Trinity shares a heavenly essence while simultaneously showcasing diversity among the divine Persons. In the infinite expanse of eternity, one can perceive the ethereal existence of three divine Persons, united by a shared essence. These sacred entities, known as the Trinity, willingly embrace their distinctive roles, each humbly fulfilling their purpose. The Father, with utmost devotion, bestows the Son and the Spirit upon creation, while the Spirit gracefully serves under the benevolent guidance of Christ. In turn, the eternal Son, existing before the birth of creation, voluntarily surrenders to the Father's divine plan, humbling Himself in His incarnation. Moreover, the ethereal Essence, guided by the celestial presence of Christ, diligently fulfills its divine duties. Despite their distinct roles, it is imperative to acknowledge that each member of the Trinity unwaveringly dedicates themselves to sustaining the intricate tapestry of existence on an equal plane. Hence, the humble babe nestled in the cradle possesses the innate power to intricately arrange all vital affairs. If we were to intertwine the essence with the persons, it would not be a logical deduction to exalt God. The Son would forever exist in the embodiment of mankind. The constant acceptance of this authoritative misrepresentation would endure eternally. This is precisely why the scriptures accurately position the essence alongside the person, never merging them and never restricting them. The Son will always be obedient to the Father in terms of personal identity for all of eternity. He will consistently progress in comprehension as a subordinate in His own Person.
