It is quite myopic of us to position ourselves as separate from the established framework of relationships and to categorize individuals based on strict guidelines. By dividing people into distinct personalities and treating them as interchangeable parts in a functioning society, we mistakenly believe we have the power to manipulate them. Instead, we must acknowledge and adhere to the ultimate standard set by God. Any flaw in these individuals can taint the entire system. By adopting a perspective that aligns with how God views people, we can better understand the complexity and depth of human nature. It is only through embracing God's absolute truths that we can cultivate genuine and meaningful connections.

In order to truly understand the interconnectedness of all things, it is essential to have a deep understanding of both ourselves and the concept of God. However, if we view God as completely separate from us, it can lead to a sense of annihilation. On the other hand, if we view ourselves as completely separate from God, it can also result in a similar sense of annihilation. It is important to acknowledge the inherent flaws and imperfections that are present in all of us. This suggests that our individual identities are a reflection of the divine. To maintain a sense of individuality while also recognizing our connection to the divine, it is crucial to express ourselves in a way that mirrors the expression of God.

If we were to perceive God as completely distinct from us, we would not be able to appreciate His unique manifestation of self. Similarly, if we were entirely separate from our own beings, we would struggle to comprehend our own existence. In order to emulate the divine and express ourselves in a godlike manner, it is crucial that we do so as individuals. If our self-awareness is contingent upon our understanding of God, then we must align our desires with His. This is why I reject the notion of worm theology, which posits that through Christ's incarnation and obedience on the cross, we will eventually inherit everything He possesses. However, if we are not presently fully united with Christ, we fail to reflect God's intended expressions as He designed us.

Are we defined as rulers and priests in our earthly existence, or do we rely on others to fulfill our identity as sinners? Are we currently in a position of authority or are we merely integral components of the body of Christ? If we are merely parts of a larger whole and God is the ultimate ruler of the universe, what is the reason behind granting us dominion over creation? It appears to me that our inheritance has been bestowed upon us, and by embracing our royal status, we are embracing our inherent nature as designed by God.

If the Old Testament instructs us that we are to be both kings and priests of the Most High, why do we view this teaching as backward-looking when in reality, we are assured of receiving our full inheritance in the future? It appears that we have not yet fully conquered all the challenges we face, but rather, we are gradually growing into the royal identity described in the Old Testament. The elevation of our status as both kings and priests fundamentally alters the framework of justice and fairness, allowing us to fully realize and express our true selves.
