We were made to live in community. Our actions or lack thereof affect each other. There is a saying that goes…. I am man, nothing human is foreign to me. Though we are so different in races and cultures, etc… we are so alike. We bleed, we are happy, sad, etc… On a global perspective we are inter-connected, and we learn from our mistakes; well can/ should. We are all a part of one big whole.
God loves people. When God created mankind it was with an intent for us to be in a personal relationship with HIM, and with the responsibility for us to rule the earth. There was a disconnect and God decided to fix it. We didn't understand neither our role nor responsibility. God, our Heavenly Father sent Jesus Christ HIS son to re-introduce us to HIMSELF and teach us how to maintain our position by faith in HIM - a faith that empowers rather than enslave us.
As Christians i.e. believers in Jesus Christ as the only way to the Almighty God; we believe that we are all a part of one body, of which Christ is the head. We all have a different part to play. It’s important that we know our individual roles. Each role is significant. We can’t have the little finger thinking that it’s the heart now can we? Each person needs to understand the significance of their identity. We want you to know the truth, because it’s the truth that sets you free!
In addition, as part of the body we are citizens of the Kingdom of heaven on earth. As such we have special privileges and responsibilities. God created us to dominate the earth and control the circumstances around us. The Holy Spirit empowers us to operate in our true capacity. The earth belongs to God, but HE has given us authority to manage it as stewards until Jesus the Messiah returns to rule with us for eternity.
