I have have been exactly this prescribed character since before the foundation the world. My existence has never changed. My existence was actualized in 1962. In 1962, I became a being.
God is my author, my Creator and my Savior. He is the all in all.
Knowing this does not effect in me an equivocation of all characters. It effects in me distinct preferences for my character.
I am left to believe that God's purpose for God's creation is the revelation of God's glory. God's creation is God's description of God's glory. Anything, even God's glory, is described just as much by what it is not as it is by what it is. Evil serves the very good purpose of revealing what God is not.
I do not want to be an example of what God is not. I do not want to be an example of what God hates; I want to be an example of what God loves. I do not want to be an example God's judgment and wrath; I want to be an example of God's mercy and grace.
The knowledge of God's absolute sovereignty, His prescriptive sovereignty, His authoritative sovereignty, does not effect in me a complacency or equivocation; it effects in me God given desires.
The knowledge of God's sovereignty effects in me changes to my intellect, emotions and will. My first curiosity is Jesus Christ, the Word of God. My first affection is for Jesus Christ and the people of God. My first ambition is for the revelation of what the glory of God is.
The knowledge that I am an authored character and a created creature effects in me a desire to be a character like my Author and a creature like my Creator.
