If Jahs qualities are clearly seen from creation,and since we are a "creation"...then this must be true of us also. Rom1:19,20. If we atribute qualities in animals and other creation as having come from Him because His qualities are seen there-in,then this MUST be true in us also,because Jah says through Paul they are clearly seen from creation which we are part of. Its a matter of weather we want to see it,or we find it hard to believe its true of us. But we can have confidence it is true ! Through Paul, Jehovah says even in imperfection,His qualities are still clearly seen in us. When we act in harmony with them,they flourish and are even more "clearly seen".

Rom 1:19;because what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them.20For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made (the creation), even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable

 

God is love. Jah is our God. We are in our Gods image. We are gods. We are love. (if we act in harmony with that gift.)

Psa 8
3When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers,
The moon and the stars that you have prepared,
4What is mortal man that you keep him in mind,
And the son of earthling man that you take care of him? (not a statement,it is a question that would be answered)

5You also proceeded to make him a little less than godlike ones,
And with glory and splendor you then crowned him. (though the crown we wear is tarnished by being mortal,we still have glory and splendor and its like a "crown",because we are still in His image.)

 

The ransom is the differance between what Jehovah gave us in Eden and what we will have again at the end of the 1,000 years. Its the ransoms love that fills the gap between...and recreates within us the full potential.

Jah sent his Son because He saw the best in us...and the ransom of His Son will remove the worst (what adam did to us) so that only the best...what He loves and looks for...will remain.

 

Jahsdisciple,

good point, yes, God loves the world for an entirely different reason
than we do - until we also become just like Him in appreciating the
loyalty and love of truth in those putting their faith in His word.

 

Hi Diagonal,
You are right about the above. When you say "we" its those who are blind to our inherited value from God through adam who dont understand Jahs reasons for loving us. And its people like those who put the expression "undeserved kindness" in the NWT that show they clearly dont see the real reasons Jah loves us "so much". I read an interesting blog from an invited anointed person and they made some very interesting points about the NWT and its wasnt complimentary. I see the reasons for the NWT confusing a lot of Jehovahs people in regards to important issues..like our lovability not being seen through the expression "undeserved kindness" as if we have to earn our value.

We are born with value. Its a matter of weather we will act in harmony with it and it then adds value to our life.

 

Jahsdisciple,

yes, there sure is some intrinsic value in us due to our being made
in His image, but our real value derives from our decision to put
faith in Jesus and in what He has accomplished for us in His body,

and this treasure in us is what Satan is trying to denigrate by accusing
us before the Father day and night about our failings which we commit
against our best intentions and will.

To complicate things further, we may unwittingly contribute to Satan’s
efforts against us by trying to buy our way into God’s good graces through
our works of proving ourselves righteous outside of Christ.

Unless we discover, and then appreciate, that life has neither purpose
nor meaning apart from the love of the Father, we are unlikely to
worship Him with the right motive and in spirit and truth.
