We are, yet many fail to see, that the gospel is to mold us, our life into the image of his kingdom. God’s kingdom is eternal, so all things that pertain to eternal life is to become ours, which is in that same image. Eternal law is imperative to live there, this cannot be ignored and we must therefore learn how to live eternal law, as God’s eternal law, which is God’s spiritual law, is what makes God what he is. This eternal law cannot do the same for us until we freely choose to mold ourselves to it and live it also.
How does this work in us?
Eternal law is what establishes order and righteousness in us. We cannot be righteous without the spiritual principles & laws of God, it is impossible. We cannot and must not create our own versions of God’s laws or principles and expect that to make us right, because it will not. Anything made by men (mortal human being) is automatically corrupt and lacking, it can never replace the laws and principles of God. To freely choose God’s spiritual laws and way of life is to forsake that which is of this earth and to abide & endure in the process that God embues into our lives.
Personal righteousness must abide in and live by God’s eternal laws and principles, else it cannot be righteous. Anything made by men, which they call as right, is relative, which is always subject to change. God’s laws are never relative, never change, they are absolute.
Therefore, to be in the image of God requires we become righteous, to live and become the very eternal laws and eternal principles that are never changing.
This, of course, is a process, but the process you now know must occurr in order to live with God.
