BECOMING LIKE GOD
Exodus 7:1 NIV
Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
All mankind and creation is eagerly waiting for a company of Christians who have grown to become like God: mature Sons that can set men and creation free from the bondage of corruption (Rom. 8:19-23).
The Lord Jesus echoes this same thought in;
John 10:34 KJV
Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Today, God is making us like God to set men free from the bondage of sin, sickness, poverty, ignorance and spiritual immaturity (Eph. 4:14), so they too can grow into the perfection and fulness of Christ, and in turn set others free as they have been set free (Eph. 4:11-13, 15; Jn. 8:36).
Isaiah 25:9 KJV
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation
God made Moses like God to Pharaoh to set His people free. Moses had God’s wisdom and power to cause Pharaoh to submit to the will of God, to free Israel from the bondage of slavery.
We will do the same by the diligent application of the Blood, the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit, using the wisdom of God (Pro. 9:1).
Hebrews 13:20-21 MKJV
Now may the God of peace (who brought again our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant) make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
1John 2:5 MKJV
But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him.
1John 4:12-13 MKJV
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
