If we are made in the likeness and image of God, and Jesus Christ is God and he wants us to ultimately "be like" him, (Kings and priests, and leaders, not just followers) "with our Lord", it says....
Then is it a sin, or is wrong of us to "rise up" to the position, to consider ourselves, "saviors" and "lords" and "kings", again "with" our Lord, it says, in this life...?
Or, are we supposed to always submit and yield and step down from that place/position and always yield it to only to/for our true Lord and Savior alone?
For example when I hear a KLove radio station christian song saying "I AM, healer of the broken, I AM savior of the damned, I AM, (this or that)... Are we supposed to think of ourselves being that, in following in the path and way of our true Lord and Savior, or are we supposed to step down, and always yield that position to God/Christ alone?
I'm really conflicted over this issue, I know Jesus Christ said he "considered it not robbery to be considered equal (equal to, not greater than) to God", but that was Christ, what about us?
And how do we do this, without getting puffed-up with pride and full of ourselves?, and falling into a trap, when we think of ourselves as "a" lord or "a" savior, to the broken, hurting, beaten and the damned, are we leaving our true Lord, "The" Lord, and not "a" lord, out of the picture, and are we taking his place? It scares the hell out of me every time I start thinking of "myself" this way, because I don't know if it's a very, very, "wrong thing or not?
I'm conflicted because I do not feel this way every day, but only on a good day, when I'm "up" and feeling pretty good about myself, but am I "puffed-up", I still don't know? Every time I do start to think of myself this way, I keep saying "me", really "me" and I automatically point up, after thinking of myself this way, as if I'm saying "me" really, this could only, ONLY be "me" because of you, oh, Lord, and I point up, as if I'm tossing it back to him...
What's your opinions, Is it wrong, or not? Or, Is this what were supposed to become, through Christ? Or, am I just getting puffed-up with pride and full of myself on a good day? (a Bad day, is a totally different story, on a bad day, I always submit, and am always yielding to, thinking of, "Him" and "I need him" to take that place on a bad day)
What do you think? It scares the hell out of me, but there are times I also feel like a gun is being put to my back, to take that place, what do I do?
God Bless!
