Let us mull over the question of who you

Here is the relevance of dichotomous and trichotomous orientations of living creatures and humans. The creation account in the chronicle of man in Bible sheds light to

fines the worthiness of man. In God's sight, the value of man is not in what he does or doesn't, but being born in God's family made him dear to God. The sin of man did

Page 2

not negate his value in the heart of the creator. But, sin stealthily bumped out man from his mandate to annex earth to heaven. Imagine a multibillion dollar satellite that launched to its orbit with specific purposes breaks away from its earth station due to a technical error. Apparently, the satellite wont be able to function for the tasks it's designed for. But, its still valuable in the eyes of designers and developers. The worth of the satellite, justifies their nights-long of travail to reinstate the link. If their efforts find success, the satellite will become alive from its lost position for the purpose its designed for. Let us think about another possibility. If this satellite somehow establishes a link with another center on earth, will it be able to function for the real tasks it's designed for? Obviously the answer is No, because of the other stations unknowingness of the intention of design. Your place of potency on the earth as sons and daughters of God will only be revealed when you get connected with the one who designed and launched you. The story of two sons in Luke 15:13 can bring enlightenment to the subject of worth.. The young son left his fathers house to a distant country with his portion of property and wasted everything by prodigal living. After he had gone through all his money, there was a bad famine all through that country and he began to hurt even to a stage of desiring to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. When he came to his senses he said, I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants. Read yourself to see the kind of party the Father prepared to celebrate the homecoming of his son. The younger son though he lived prodigal, never lost his worth as son in his fathers heart. But, what he lost was the position of abundance and authority to function as son. In this riddle, we don't find words of condemnation, accusation or warnings against the son from the father. Instead, surprisingly what we see is a total restoration of son-ship, purity and authority which he not at all deserved..Oooops..Father went Prodigal in the joy of getting back his lost son. I wish, this story should have opened the eyes of those who portray God as GOD FATHER instead of FATHER GOD to the world. John 3:16 states This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and

only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. What was the condition of the world when God said he loved the world? To find this we have to read Romans 3:9 which says, theres nobody living right, not even one, nobody who knows the score, nobody alert for God. They've all taken the wrong turn; they've all wandered down blind alleys. No one's living right; I can't find a single one......All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.(Romans 3:23) Looking down at the marshy soil of sin, God said I love the world" - simply because his eyes have caught the buried treasure in the soil of sin. Jubilant God became passionate to the extent of sacrificing His only son Jesus as the ransom to set free the world from the consequences (Punishments) of the choices made without him (Sin). Book of Romans also states: When we were at our worst, when we were far too weak and rebellious, while we were of no use, God demonstrated His great love towards His lost sons and daughters at the cross - A supreme and extreme expression of absolute love. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10).Even at the height of folly no one will bid for worthlessness. Bid value defines the worth of the entity. We are his treasured possessions!!! These scriptures are the brush strokes that portray the perfect love of Father God. The compassion and love of the Father God, which Jesus revealed to the world, set out an exodus of lost sons n daughters. Now we will have a glance at two persons who happened to bump on this Father God during their journey of life. One rich and zealous young guy from an elite tribe of Israel with a pedigree - a strict and devout adherent to God's law; a fiery defender of the purity of his religion, a meticulous observer of everything set down in his religion, had an encounter with Jesus

Page 4

on his way to Damascus to persecute and arrest those who believed in Jesus. This bizarre meeting opened his eyes to see life in heavens perspective and kindled a passion in him for the purpose he was born for. The words he yelled still echoes in the halls of history..

Every achievements of life- all trophies and mementos apart from Jesus pale in comparison with the glorious life of knowing Christ personally and experiencing his resurrection power.

I'm tearing up and throwing out with the trash all my high credentials Because of Christ. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificantdog dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him.
Thereafter, his life blazed in total abandonment to Jesus. Every achievements of life- all trophies and mementos apart from Jesus pale in comparison with the glorious life of knowing Christ personally and experiencing his resurrection power. Another guy flew from the palace of a heinous king in fear of punishment for killing a citizen. One day in his 40 years of hideout in the wilderness while shepherding his father in law's sheep had a freaky encounter with his designer. In this incident he was informed about the true purpose and potential of his life. He became perplexed and intimidated by rating his strengths and limitations to walk in the high calling of his life just revealed. In total bewilderedness he hurled a question to God, WHO AM I? Which we all may ask when we realize our true intent of being alive. God never bothered to answer his question, but what he says in response is overwhelming! God said I WILL BE WITH YOU!!! This response not only unravels the questions concerning life that man is still pursuing but also exposes his heart that beats for us...... which says, Son! You are the one I like to hang around, Because you are my kind, You are made in my image and likeness, My hands fashioned you in your mothers womb, You are my crowning creation whom I designed to bestow my Glory, What you have or haven't doesn't matter, what you do or do not make any relevance, Where you are born or to whom you are born is insignificant, Your strength or weakness doesn't make any difference, You are my kindred.. I want to be with you.. The real life begins from this reunion - A reborn experience - A redefining moment where you begin a brand new life from the unshakable identity of Son/Daughter of God.

Page 5

Before this moment your identity was yoked with what you did....Now on, your identity will never be what you do rather who you are will define what you do and forever cease the labor for approval laded by religion. In the story of two sons in Luke 15, Father said to the elder son this is a wonderful time, and we had to celebrate. This brother of yours was dead, and he's alive now! He was lost, and he's found! A life disconnected from the father is dead and ineffective like the satellite that lost its link with the center, though it remains valuable. You may be a Hindu, Muslim, Jain, Buddhist, Christian or may be one in a wretched condition..Doesnt matter..You are valuable in the eyes of your heavenly Dad..He has done everything to bring you home..Your flaws dont bother him.....He paid in full for your wrong deeds at the cross..Jesus endured the cross for your sins and the cry that IT'S FINISHED heard at crucifixion, still echoes in the horizon as an invitation for every man and women to come home. An out stretched arm of love is waiting to embrace you while the host of heaven has prepared a table with choice food and wine to celebrate the occasion.

Jesus is not a religious guy..He is the door to a relation; He has not died for Christians..He died for the world; He is not a truth..He is the truth; He is not a door..He is the door; He is not a way..He is the way. Bible is not a religious book.....it's a love letter from a Loving Father to every child on this planet.
Before you read the rest, be at a solitary place, pray a short prayer for his tangible presence that enables you to feel the warmth of his perfect love A LOVE THAT CAN'T BE DENEID!!!
