It is rather narrow-minded of us to position ourselves as detached from the entire framework of relationships and establish distinct personality categories with strict guidelines. When we divide individuals into personality types and discuss them as mere components of a well-functioning society, we inadvertently imply that we have the power to control them. It is crucial that we come to accept the ultimate standard set by Gods authority. Any flaws found within these individuals will ultimately corrupt the entire framework. To step outside of our own perspectives and observe individuals as a God does is to see them in their true essence. This is why we rarely encounter the enigmatic aspects of their being. We fail to apply the absolute pronouncements of a higher power as a means to foster genuine and healthy connections.In order to attain a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of everything, it is imperative that we possess knowledge of both the divine being and our own identity. However, if we perceive God as entirely distinct from us, our existence will be negated. Conversely, if we view ourselves as completely separate from God, His existence will be nullified. It is essential to recognize that we all share a fundamental flaw or imperfection. This flaw serves as proof that our individual selves are a manifestation of God's own self. Therefore, to maintain our distinct identities while also acknowledging our unity with God, we must express ourselves in a manner that aligns with His expression.If God exists in a completely unique and separate realm, we would not be able to appreciate or value His way of expressing Himself. Similarly, if we were completely separate and distinct from God, we would not be able to understand our own existence. In order to express ourselves in a divine manner, we must have the ability to do so as individuals. If our understanding of ourselves is dependent on our understanding of God, then we must express our desires and intentions in the same way that God does. This is why I do not subscribe to the notion of "worm theology." Worm theology suggests that since Christ, through His incarnation, has rightfully placed all things under His authority through His obedience and sacrifice on the cross, we will receive the same identity and possessions as Christ in the future. However, if we are not currently fully identified with Christ, then we do not accurately reflect the expressions of God as He intended when He created us.Do we primarily embody the roles of kings and priests in our earthly existence, or do we solely rely on others to fulfill our identity as sinful beings? Are we currently in a position of authority, or are we integral parts of the collective body of Christ? If we are indeed only fragments of the whole, with God reigning as the ultimate King of the universe, what is the purpose behind granting us dominion over creation? It appears to me that our inheritance has been bestowed upon us, and as we exercise our kingship, we are essentially manifesting our divine design.If the Old Testament teaches that we are bestowed with the positions of kings and priests by the Most High, then why do we perceive this teaching as regressive, when in reality we are assured of receiving our complete inheritance in the future? I was under the impression that we already possessed everything that was promised to us, but it appears that we are still in the process of overcoming various challenges. From my perspective, it seems that we are gradually evolving into the royal identity that was instilled in us through the teachings of the Old Testament. If we assume the roles of both kings and priests, it fundamentally alters the framework of justice and fairness, enabling us to fully embody our true selves.
