Only in full surrender to the Spirit and to the Writings of God can a man or woman hope to find wisdom, knowledge, or an understanding of Spiritual things.
~ Todd Coburn
The God of this world has chosen to provide light to all mankind through His Son, who was crucified and died so that we could be cleansed and made free
We were in darkness when we were outside of the knowledge of Jesus and when we were not followers of Him. Yet now that we have this knowledge of Jesus Christ and this relationship with Him, we have become light and we are to live as light.
The Holy Spirit is saying that no authority or authoritative being exists that was not created by Jesus Christ. This is a statement beyond creation. It is a statement of Godhead.
Although mankind is made from mere dust of the ground, we are made in the image of God. As we emulate His image, we have value and purpose.
