Growing Further in Life to Fulfill God’s Purpose of Expressing and Representing God September 15, 2013 by aGodMan God created man in His image and according to His likeness photo credit: People – God Created Man in His Own Image God’s purpose is accomplished by life, and in Genesis 1 we see in type the experience of Christ as life and the growth in life for the fulfillment of God’s purpose. God as the Spirit came to brood upon our dead situation, and He spoke something to us, bringing light in our inner being, and we were regenerated with Christ as the divine life. As the Lord increased His shining, there was a definite and strong separation between light and darkness, day and night, and the things above from the things of the earth. As we grow in life by allowing Christ to shine in us and grow in us, we experience Christ as the grass, the herbs, and the trees – stage by stage, we grow in life. After a more definite light shining on us through Christ as the sun, the church as the moon, and the overcoming believers as the stars, we grow in life further to defeat the death around us (the fish) and even overcome and soar above any frustration and death situation (the birds). However, there is more! We need to grow in life step by step and day by day by experiencing Christ as life so that we may become “the cattle” and the “animals” on the earth (day 6). The animals and the cattle have a higher consciousness and they live a life with a purpose, accomplishing something on the earth. But there is even more: we need to go further in our growth in life until we bear God’s image and represent Him with His dominion so that His purpose would be fully accomplished (typified by the creation of man). Today we as the church, the Body of Christ, fulfill God’s eternal purpose by expressing God and representing Him on the earth.
