The beginning of wisdom
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs chapter 1 verses 7 KJV)
The fear God Almighty created in a man was to keep man in the right proportion with Him God. It was designed for man to gained full access in communicating with God, not as the Creator but as a living Father that always meant good for His people. Of course creations is a great prove of how lovely God is. He made everything beautiful not for the comfort of Himself but for the comfort of humanity. Man was to drawn his rule of proper dominion aligning with God. With that man was to be the real agent to fear because he was God in the physical.
“I have said,Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” (Psalms 82 verse 6 KJV)
You are born of God
There was nothing made that was greater than man. Man has nothing else to submit to rather than the One that fashioned and made him in His image and likeness. Man has an Identity with God. With that there has to be a proper alignment in the flow of virtue from God to humanity. Man generates no virtues of his own to exercise proper dominion. Man can only reflect the virtues received from God. God is the originator of dominion, man never had a clear view and understanding of dominion. He needs a constants walk and flow with the God of dominion. Man cannot exercise a proper dominion on his own accord. There is need for great assistance from God to remain in charge.
Man was created to assumed a position he has no full knowledge about. The dominion God was talking about that man will exercise, was the dominion from Him. In Genesis 1:26, God says as long as they remain in alignment they will reflect Our glory on earth. Man came out of God to reflect the glory of God. As the woman came out of the man to reflect the glory of man, so is man from God. If God is God Almighty, man should be man almighty as long as earth is concern. That was the original plan. God did not place any limitation on man kind. He gave in all that He is when He breathe into man, for the reflection of His glory on earth.
It is God’s glory man reflects
Man has no glory of his own. Let us have a close look at the first and second Adams. After the fall of the first Adam, the second Adam was sent in the person of Jesus Christ to model God before men. Jesus is the expressed image of the invisible God. And so was the first Adam before his fall.
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. (Colossians 1 verses 14 to 15 KJV)
Man was the firstborn of every creature. There is no controversy about that. Creatures were to look at man and they will see God. Let us look at another scripture for further and clearer explanation. Philip, just as every other creations could asked, where is the Creator?
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”
9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.
11 Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.
12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. (John 14 verse 8 to 12 NLTV)
Conclusion
It is the fear of God that keeps us in complete alignment to do the will of God Almighty and to reflect His glory.
