Mike Parsons –
As we have been created in the image of God, sonship is the key. Father, Son and Spirit exist in an eternal circle of relationship, a mutual exchange of love. This dynamic love is central, and although the Spirit represents a spiritual reality, God has also created the natural realm to interact with us as His children. This allows us to reflect, receive and extend that love to one another. Love is always key with God – He has created us both to be loved and to love.
We are included in the circle of relationship between Father, Son and Spirit. He has placed eternity in our hearts, so we are drawn back to that relationship, even if we are not fully aware of it. This pull towards worship and connection with God is by His design. In the realm of creation, God has created us as sons to operate in sonship towards creation, as creation was made for us, not primarily for Him. Creation exists so that, as His children and co-heirs and co-creators, we might mature, come into an ascended state and, like Him, become creative.
There are things God has chosen only us to do, as we carry His DNA signature. We are made in His image and likeness, and this distinguishes us as a race. Angels, for instance, are created as individual beings with unique purposes. Other dimensions contain races as well, but they are all connected to this dimension, as we are the reference point for them. This calling is not about arrogance or claiming superiority; rather, we have been chosen as His children to steward creation with Him, moving forward into ages to come. There is a joy in God’s heart for us, and He wants this joy to be in us so our joy may be complete.
This co-heirship leads to co-creatorship, and as sons and daughters, we become creative. We express this creativity in our daily lives, but there is also the potential to create as God creates, calling things into existence as if they are. This starts with choosing realities that align with the Father’s heart and His intentions for our lives. Creation responds to us, forming that reality as we collapse quantum possibilities into being. However, to understand His intentions, we need intimacy with the Father’s heart. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, and that is what God desires from us – a relationship that is face to face, heart to heart, mind to mind, in the light of His presence. As His children, we then work in collaboration with Him to realise His intentions, choosing realities aligned with His purposes willingly and cooperatively within this co-creatorship.
Of course, I do not have all the answers because I am not God. There may be many other reasons for God creating us in this way and for creating the physical, spiritual and dimensional realms. God is a creative being, but I know with certainty that His purpose in creating is rooted in love. The whole of creation is meant to experience His love. This is why creation is waiting and longing for the revealing of the sons of God so it may be set free from corruption into the freedom of the glory of God’s children. He has given us a glorious image, clothing us in sonship so creation can respond to us. When we speak with His voice, carrying out His intentions, creation responds.
Therefore, it is essential to know His heart and to carry out His purposes with love. We love because He first loved us, and we love one another as He has loved us. This also means we should respond to creation lovingly, bringing God’s kingdom – His rulership and dominion – through love and not through any other way.
I hope this provides a little more insight into who we are and our image. We can only truly see ourselves by looking into the mirror of His face and seeing what is reflected back, listening to the vast sum of His thoughts about us. God has made each of us with a particular purpose, both individually and collectively as His children.
