Satan’s rebellion
against God was transferred to humans because his deception had always been
appealing to all who choose to disobey God. You can choose to follow God or
Satan.
The rebellious choose
to follow satan by refusing God’s word as a standard for their lives. This had
been the cause of suffering for humans seeking to rule in the place of their
Creator.
The coming of Jesus Christ
as sent by the Father into the world was for the purpose of restoring humanity
to submitting to God’s rule which was lost by the fall of Adam and Eve. The
Lord Jesus did not leave us in the dark concerning this kingdom plan. He
emphatically proved to Pilate who asked whether Jesus was a King; and Jesus answered;
"You say rightly that I am a
king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world,
that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My
voice." (Jn18:37)
All God’s children
who will comply with His truth through Christ must have no business with world’s
dominion arrangement. Our disobedience to God had been responsible for our
being subject to man-made government. If we refused to obey God, then we must
be obliged to submit to world leaders either in the church or elsewhere.
As far as our
Heavenly Father is concerned, we should never rule over each other because we
are all brethren and He remains the only Father, Teacher and Master! (Mt
23:8-12)
In God’s Government,
we rule over the creation Gen.1:27-28; and never the Creator whose image and
likeness we are vss 26-27.
It is either we quit
the orientation of the heathen; which is typically rebellion to God, or we
continue to suffer the consequences of sin against God; this means an endless
toil under human oppressors!
