THE
CREATION
OF
HUMAN SPIRITS The Creator of all life knew the Godless measures that would be taken by mankind against His Divine Will, and the evil influence and powerful works that they would require from the "dragon" satan. (Rev 13:4,8). Furthermore, Jehovah God knew that His heavenly Son The Christ Michael would give such earthly enemies the following symbolic names:
Jehovah God did not prevent them from coming into existence, and for wise reasons. He also knew that The Christ Michael would ultimately bring about their demise. So the question arises, why did our Creator allow satan through human subordinates to create adversity and affliction in the lives of people of God? It was in order to fulfil the Divine purpose to create spirits that could inherit immortal heavenly spirit life in the paradise of God. To achieve this, "fruitage of the spirit" is encouraged in those living according to "Way" of The Christ. (Gal 5:22-25). Those inheriting everlasting spirit life have had their spirits created while living in the flesh. They have had the superfluous badness that remains in an uncreated spirit removed. (James 1:21). Spirit readjustment in a holy one leads to a created spirit that can no longer sin, and so to an everlasting unity with God.
We are gradually made holy by
persevering with The Christ Michael's corrective subjection of us while enduring
the evil works of satan's subjects. (1 Cor 15:24-28). Indeed, without
such evil opposition, we would not be able to identify the root causes of
discord in order to shed them off and put on the desired spiritual state. (Eph 6:11
