Not yet even born we were created
like that famous quote of God stated:
"Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness." Gen 2:26
That's our significance! Created unlike any other creature who stand on their four legs or are slumped on their sides, man was created standing upright to show that his image is found in God the Most High.
That's our significance that we have forgotten and squandered it because we did not know the meaning of this one thing,
that we are created in the image of the Most Supreme Being God, and set apart from all creation because we are like Him.
We entered this world with everything provided for us; wealthy from the beginning, and didn't have to do anything in order to get it,
but just reap God's blessings like when, a child birthed by his parents bearing the image of them, not even knowing it yet, but having all of their riches at hand.
We were set apart for The Most High God
to live in harmony synchronized in perfect unity and fellowship holding a continuous conversation.
Therefore, our joy is dependent on the relationship with God, not in creation where we compare ourselves with things that are less than we are by God's original intention.
We were directly linked with God the Father, but then sin crept in.
After our deceived thinking; lust of the eyes and flesh distracted us away from our relationship with Him; leading us to fall short of His glory with death eternal being the only just compensation.
It took the price of killing His own Son Who lived a perfectly righteous life with no sinning.
Our Representative Who justifies us upon us believing then making us go through the process of sanctification;
as He crushes and breaks us so that all we have left to do is look up and seek Him in Whom is the fullness of the image of God. (Col 2:9)
So, with His face unveiled as we behold the Lord's glory, we're being transformed in to the same image from one degree of glory to another. (2 Cor 3:18)
Yes, we're sinful, but the fact is that's not where our story began before man's fall into sin.
As the sweet fruit that turned bitter in the consequence that followed we had many years to endeavor as He would do whatever He needs to in order to purify us "that we may share His holiness" (Heb 12:10b) as His royal kin before we enter in His rest again as we were in the beginning.
So, "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." (Heb 12:11)
And these are Positive Convictions.
