ON HOW OUR SINNING SUBJECTS CREATION TO PAIN AND TRAVAIL.



But why should all creation be affected by effects of the actions of the human race, which constitutes a very small percentage of the matter in all creation?
A deep analysis on how fearfully and wonderfully we are made, shows that since we have the Spirit of God, through Christ, in us, we have inherited the omnipresence of our God. This is so in that we have the Spirit of Christ “…who fills everything in every way,” according to Ephesians chapter one verse twenty three. It is therefore in this regard that through our sinning, we have upset the symmetry of creation which in turn, subjects it into pain and travail.
On the other hand, if our spirit is hidden in Christ who fills everything in ever way, and who ascended above the highest heavens in order to fill the entire universe, in the company of our spirit which He had just rescued from the lowest depth, according to Ephesians chapter four, then we understand how we also, through Christ, fills everything in every way, which explains why our sinning subjects the whole universe to pain and travail.
The inheritance of the Spirit of Christ in us, which is hidden in heaven with Christ, according to Colossian chapter three verses one to three, also gives us our immortality. In our immortality then, we become one with the Immortal God. Since, as we have just found out that we are omnipresent in Christ, it follows that we must also be omnipotent as well as omniscient!
It is through the control of our thought forces, which Paul advise us to focus on higher things that we are able to attain to these attributes.
