Word of Faith and “little gods”

Little gods

I have found this topic to be particularly interesting, especially since it’s the one which is used to link those who preach The Word with Mormons, it’s the one used to cry heresy, and many times used to accuse of New Age teachings.

But let’s go back to the Word, and see what it says. In Genesis we see that God created us in His image and likeness. (Genesis 1:26) Some like to argue this point and try to explain away what exactly this means. But let’s just take it at face value “In the image and likeness of GOD”. Then He did something He hadn’t done with any other creation. He breathed into man His breath of Life. (Genesis 2:7) We have been made the Righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21) We have been raised up with Christ and placed in heavenly places. (Ephesians 2:6) We are God’s heirs and Co-heirs with Jesus. (Romans 8:17) His Love is poured out in our hearts. (Romans 5:5) and many other examples….

So we look like Him, His love is in us, we are literally His children, we are His righteousness, His power is in us, we have been given authority by Him through Christ, His breath of Life is in us. So I would venture to say that in the Spirit (at least) we look like God. We call ourselves children of God but Religion refuses to let us see ourselves like God sees us. Just like my children are little me’s…So we are little Him’s.

We aren’t little gods like the Greeks worshiped. Zeus, Athena, Sophia etc. But we are His children and made in His image.

——————- Look at what Jesus said……

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, I said , Ye are gods?” He was referring to Psalms 82:6 where it says the following: “I have said , Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”
